The tricycle operator was last week reported to have been killed on the order of the AVG commander, and his tricycle was confiscated and sold off to a buyer, from where it was later tracked and recovered.
But the publicity secretary of AVG, Mr Nweke Nweke, who spoke with journalists on Saturday, stated that there was no truth that the tricycle rider was killed on the command of the AVG Commander, or its operatives. “The commander who is today being held in police custody alongside one other person was not responsible for the killing, but I would not say much, so that the police can carry out a thorough investigation on the matter.

He said the commander has helped rid the community of crime and that attempt to robe him into the death of the tricycle rider was just meant to silence him.
