According to Ikenga, the state Commissioner of Police, CP Echeng Echeng, has ordered a manhunt for the armed men.

He also said that the police were already in the area, adding that normalcy had been restored.

“Although no notification was given to the Police about the planned burial, information reveals that the vigilante groups were invited.

“Further details received showed that the miscreants arrived at the ceremony and started shooting sporadically in an attempt to disarm the vigilante operatives.

“In another development, the hoodlums also attacked Utuh vigilante office, abducted one of the staff and set the vigilante operation vehicle on fire,” he said.
