Some people suspected of being a hunter were intercepted by members of the local judges because they were suspected that they were kidnappers in the Uromi community in the North Esan Regional Government in the state and were killed on Thursday.

“It is very disturbing that in our country, fellow citizens can experience such heinous violence, especially when our faith tradition teaches us to respect the sanctity of every human life,” the spokesman quoted speakers of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, as said in that statement.
