Gunmen shot dead two members of Ebubeagu security outfit on Friday in Ebonyi State, South-east Nigeria.

Ebubeagu is a regional security organisation put together by governors of the South-east to tackle the security challenges in the region, which is linked to Biafra agitation.

But the security outfit itself, in Ebonyi and Imo states, has been tainted by accusation of abduction, torture, and extrajudicial killings.

The killing of the two Ebubeagu operatives happened around 7 p.m. on Friday at Ebebe Junction in Ebonyi Local Government Area of the state, Monday Opara, a resident, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).

“There were other victims, but before they could get to the hospital, two of them died while others with bullet injuries are still receiving treatment,” Mr Opara said.

Police spokesperson in Ebonyi, Chris Anyanwu, has confirmed the killing.
