The victim, identified as Alex Ukaegbu, was reportedly in charge of a building site in Osisioma when he was apprehended by the vigilante members for being in possession of iron rods. According to the statement from the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), the suspects chained Ukaegbu and demanded a monetary payment for his release.

Upon receiving the complaint, police operatives were dispatched to the scene to conduct investigations. The lifeless body of Alex Ukaegbu was then taken to Alanwemadu Mortuary Osisioma for preservation.
The case has now been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department for further inquiry as authorities seek to unravel the circumstances surrounding the tragic death of Alex Ukaegbu and hold those responsible accountable for their actions
