Anambra State Police Command has been urged to investigate the alleged killing of a man by local security operatives at Ezinifite, Nnewi South Local Government Area of the state.
Human rights activist, Harrison Gwamnishu, made the call in a Facebook post he made on Friday, 6th November 2026.
A voice in the video clip the rights activist posted on the social media alleged that the man was killed for stealing plantain because he was hungry, and that the he had “nobody”.
In another post on the incident on Facebook, the young man was identified as Mr. Emezie Chibueze, who is said to be in his late 20s.
Sources claimed that the deceased was arrested for the said offense, taken to security office and tortured until he became unconscious.
“He was locked up for five days without food and water, later out of fear that the young man might likely die in their custody, the security men quickly returned his unconscious body to his family”.
It was gathered that the family tried their best to save the life of Emezie by taking him to a hospital, but all efforts didn’t yield the desired result.
