A 22-year-old man, Osondu Ezemmaduchukwu, has been allegedly tortured to death by vigilantes at Ifite Nanka village, in the Orumba North Local Government Area of Anambra State. His elder brother, Ebere, while narrating the incident to our correspondent on Monday, said Osondu was arrested together with his immediate elder brother, Robinson, and other suspects. He noted that they were all locked up at the Ifite Village Hall for over nine days. He noted that the suspects were locked up in the vigilantes’ hall because the police told the group that they were no longer accepting or remanding suspects because of the security situation in the state. The state police spokesman, DSP Tochukwu Ikenga, confirmed the incident, adding that two of the vigilantes were in custody.
