Gunmen suspected to be cult members have killed a 65-year-old police informant, Raphael Udofia, who resided at 81 Ikpa Road in the Uyo Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State.
The deceased was said to have been brutally shot and his head cut off. A family source told Southern City News that Udofia had spent over 18 years in prison for killing his father before returning to take up the vigilante job in the area.
Another police informant identified as Dan Mark was reportedly shot by the gunmen, who thought he was dead.
A local vigilante, Effiong Akpan, said, “Mark is currently receiving treatment in an undisclosed hospital after the attack.
He used his hands to try to block the bullets, but the bullets shattered the hands. He immediately fell down and feigned death in the pool of his blood. The criminals left him, thinking he was dead.”
Akpan ruled out any case of armed robbery, adding that the hoodlums numbering about 15, who attacked the two informants on Sunday, “never stole any property or cash from the victims.”
