The family of Uche Orukwo, the thirty years old member of vigilante group has denied allegations that their son was killed by suspected cultists during an operation at Obidanso Street,Mile 2 Diobu, in Port Harcourt Rivers State.
.Father of the slain vigilante member, Pastor Moses Orukwo, in a press briefing on Tuesday April 9, 2024 alleged that available information suggests that his son was killed by his (vigilante) colleagues who went with him on the operation.
The bereaved father claimed that there had been enmity, leading to personal hatred against his son by his vigilante group members
He said that this became evident following his son’s promotion to the second in command of the vigilante unit where he was posted.
Pastor Orukwo who is currently reeling from the loss of his son appealed to the state Commissioner of Police, CP, Olatunji Disu to order an immediate investigation into the circumstances leading to his son’s death.
He said that the commander of the vigilante unit his son belonged to and other team members who went with him on operation should be summoned for thorough investigation to unravel the mystery surrounding Uche Orukwo’s death.
Last Saturday, the Rivers State Police Command had confirmed the killing of the vigilante member.
