Ogedegbe was allegedly shot by a member of the vigilante group drafted to support military personnel earlier deployed there.

Ogedegbe, who was rushed to the hospital for medical treatment, was later arrested by police from Ekpan police station and is currently being detained.

The president general of Okpare-Olomu, Mr. Okiemute Otaka, confirmed the shooting of Ogedegbe and the arrest of eight protesters.
