Gunmen have killed Fidelis Nnadi, a member of a vigilante group in Imo state.
Nnadi was killed on Tuesday morning along Okwelle-Umuezealaibe road, Abba in Nwangele LGA of the state.
The deceased was attacked while on his way back from the Okwelle area of the state where he had gone to purchase some items.
The gunmen were said to have kidnapped a mother and her child somewhere in the area and were passing through the community when they sighted Nnadi and shot him at close range.
“I spoke with the security commander and he said that the man went to Okwele to buy things and on his way back he was caught in the action,” a resident of the community told TheCable.
“The kidnappers heading to Okigwe identified him as a security agent and shot him as they drove towards Okigwe. He said he is from Ogwuaga Abba.”
Michael Abattam, spokesperson of the state police command, also confirmed the incident to TheCable, adding that the police were already investigating the incident.
He added that more details will be released to the public soon.
