This was even as the police station in the area, alongside vehicles in the station, was set ablaze by irate youths who claimed the police were providing cover for the suspected hoodlums. The people claimed that the criminal elements were kidnapping and killing people in the area for suspected organ harvesting, hence their protest. The infuriated youths dug out the decomposing body of a young man in the compound of the community leader, who it was gathered, reportedly fled with his family. It was also learnt that while the youth were digging the compound, several bones believed to be those of humans were recovered. In anger, the youths were said to have burnt down the building and then the business centres of several people, killing some of them, before storming the police station to set it ablaze.
