Recall that a 22 year old boy,Chigozie Igbo was allegedly killed by the bullet of this security outfit last week at Umuoke, Atta Njaba.

He was shot at close range according to a source from the area,pastor Christopher Okewuihe as he made to run away from their heavy presence.

Also,on Monday there was a pandemonium at Awommamma market at the early hours as their traders hurriedly shut down following the fear of Ebubeagu invading the place.
