Elemchukwu: Locally made gun explodes, kills vigilante in Rivers

A locally made pistol reportedly killed operative of a local vigilante group simply identified as Elemchukwu after his gun fell and exploded at Ubima Community, Ikwerre Local Government Area of Rivers State.

The group known as OSPAC is one of the popular local security outfits in some local government areas of the state.

OSPAC Vice Chairman in Ubima community, Ikwerre LGA, Amadi Goodluck, confirmed the incident to newsmen.

He noted that Elemchukwu died as a result of accidental discharge, saying reports making the rounds that members of the vigilante were involved in a shootout that led to the death of Elem is not true.

“Yesterday around after 8am, I was in the office when I received a call that Elim has shot himself dead.

“When we got there, we found him dead. I asked people around there what had happened to our boy. They showed me the shop where he came to buy something.

“Then he left and started his motorcycle. He was holding a dane gun. In the process of starting the bike, the gun fell down, hitting its head on the ground.

“The gun explode and touched him on his head. That is what led to his death. There was nothing like shootout or any problem,” Goodluck said.
