Meanwhile, several unconfirmed sources are reporting that a man named Emmanuel Uba aka Onwa was killed in the late hours of Friday, July 21, 2017. Details surrounding his death are sketchy but Legit.ng gathered that he may have been killed as a result of his alleged reputation as a political thug.

Onwa was also notorious because in 2014 when he as the head of an illegal ‘vigilante’ organisation known as the Community Policing Youth Vanguard, had an altercation with the then local government chairman Comrade Ayodele Adewale. Legit.ng was able to obtain a video of the said altercation. Watch it below:
