The eyewitness said he was returning from Awka, the state capital and reaching AP Filling station, he saw the vigilante operatives who while they were stopping him, were hitting sticks on his car. He said the vigilante operatives also started hitting the cars with sticks, and in the process, all the young men in the cars came out and fracas ensued, almost resulting in a terrible fight with the vigilante operatives.
“I was peeping from where I was hiding and saw that they had killed one of the vigilante members called Dabere by the gutter side while the one they called Agu in the middle of the road was shot below the belt. Dabere died immediately there but Agu was still alive but was struggling to death while they were trying to get a vehicle to rush him to hospital.
