brutally tortured.

and writhed in pain.
Blood,

did I do?" the man asked repeatedly.

Eyewitnesses claim Mr Kenneth was flogged
because he allegedly sold a water tank in his family house and used the money
to solve family issues.
Subsequently,
his younger brother allegedly arrested him with a vigilante group. He was
tortured for hours and died in the process.
Concerned
Nigerians have called on the state governor and the police to ensure that the
perpetrators are brought to justice.
They
are also calling on the government to protect his bereaved wife and children
who are being intimidated in their efforts to seek justice for Mr Kenneth.
