An eyewitness said the hoodlums in their numbers invaded the Prof Ebeh’s house in Agbeji, a suburb of Anyigba in Dekina Local Government Area, around 7pm on Thursday. They reportedly whisked him away, after sporadic shootings to scare people in his vicinity. A neighbour who identified himself as Akpai explained what happened. “The hoodlums operated in a commando manner. It was swift. We noticed a car trailing him furiously; we took it as one of his friends or colleagues, not until we heard gunshots around his gate.”
