A young man identified simply as AbdulHahim lost his life following an altercation
with local vigilantes over alleged cable theft in Ankpa, headquarters of Ankpa Local
Government Area of Kogi State.

 

Reports indicated that the incident occurred on Thursday afternoon, October 15, 
2026 when the deceased encountered the group in the suburb of the town. 

 

According to Daily Trust, the young man was heard screaming for help in a clip of
the incident, pleading with his assailants to temper justice with mercy.

 

> “Please do not k!ll me, Alhaji, I am the only son of my mother. Have mercy on 
> me,” the deceased pleaded. 

 

According to reports, tension has gripped Ankpa residents, with opinion divided 
over the incident. While many condemned what they described as extra-judicial k!
lling, others argued that the young man deserved his fate.

 

Yet, many residents said the incident deserves public attention, proper investigation
and a response from relevant authorities.

 

A concerned resident of the town, Usman Adejoh from Agwa-Ankpa, the alleged abode
of the deceased, said the incident was not properly handled, describing it as an
act of jungle justice.

 

He called on relevant authorities to intervene and conduct a thorough investigation
into the k!lling to douse growing tension and suspicion.

> “If someone is suspected of stealing a cable or committing any other offence, 
> the proper response is to apprehend the suspect, hand him over to the police, 
> conduct an investigation and allow the courts to determine the case according 
> to the law,” a resident said.

 

However, a popular vigilante group, “Atakpo,” known for its decisive action against
criminals terrorising the town and its environs, reportedly denied involvement in
the incident.

“We have no hand in that incident; it’s not from us,” a source from the Atakpo vigilante
said.
