In fulfilment of the old culture of Ekowe community, the suspect was subjected to a 120 flogging marathon, but he fainted after enduring 40 strokes and was later confirmed dead.


It was gathered that some individuals in the community tried to intervened, offered between N50,000 and N15,000 as options for the flogging, but community youths insisted that the tradition must be followed to serve as deterrent to others.


The Chairman of Southern Ijaw Local Government Area, Mr. Target Segibo, who confirmed the incident in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Ayebaitari Easterday, said normalcy has been restored to the community with the timely intervention of the council and the security operatives.
