Youths of Oba in Idemili North Local Government Area of Anambra State have blocked the Onitsha-Owerri expressway, denying motorists passage.
The youths said their actions was based on the killing of an innocent youth on Monday night by people they alleged to be operatives of Anambra Vigilante Group (AVG), who are popularly called Ebubeagu in the area.
Thousand s of youths on Tuesday morning blocked the road, while trucks conveying good and passengers were denied passage.
A video being circulated on the social media showed the deceased body of the victim lying in an open truck at the venue of the protest.
A commentator who obviously shot the video said the youth, who is an indigene of Oba and a shop owner in the area was in front of his shop the previous night, when he was shot by the vigilante operative, unprovoked.
This allegations were however not verified as at the time of filling this report as attempt to do so was not yet successful.
The public relations officer of AVG, Mr Nweke Nweke who was reached by THE RAZOR with the videos pleased for more time to verify and get back to us.
