While waiting for the cab he boarded at the popular Ibro Park to take-off, drivers at the park became curious with the herdsman’s behavior which led to questions and a full body search. A human hand was discovered in the herdsman’s bag and the crowd descended on him before soldiers came to the scene to rescue him from the mob.

It was later discovered that the human hand is that of Mr. Okpanachi. Residents are still enraged and are calling for justice.
