As search for the true killer of Benson Ogedegbe continues, the head of vigilante group in Oghara, Ethiope West LGA of Delta State, investigations have revealed that the killing which is currently hanging on the head of the 19th battalion commandant, Lt. Colonel Aminu Umar was far froth the truth.
Investigation revealed that contrary to what some media houses had published that that Lieutenant Colonel Aminu Umar was called by the alleged Army killer of Ogedegbe, Umar was not aware of the movement of any soldier outside their base for such heinous crime against humanity.
It was gathered that the incident which had placed the 19th battalion in a nightmare, accusing the criminals and oil bunkers parading the koko waterways and destroying drums of illegal gotten crude oil by setting them ablaze.

The suspected criminals and bunkers, source said had been witch-hunting citizens, especially those who assisted in securing the Oghara community.
When our team of reporters visited the Oghara Police Station, one of the policemen who pleaded for anonymity, revealed that Benson Ogedegbe might have been killed by criminals who he and his vigilant group stopped from operating in the region.
"We believe that the boys who killed Benson are criminals who wore army uniform, probably thinking that they could kidnap him if they accosted him with soldiers’ uniform.
"If you check where he was shot, under the abdomen; security officials rarely shoot that area. Most times, they shoot criminals directly on the head or chest and they won't do so on broad daylight like you people are reporting", the source confided.
Some of the villagers who spoke, explained that it was true that Benson had issues with the army, but it may have been based on his vigilant group mode of operation, which some of them have reported as being overboard which needed caution from the government security agencies. They told our reporters that the peace experienced in Oghara and Ethiope West was due to the army presence and not the Ogedegbe- led vigilante.

A palace source completely exonerated the 19th brigade commander, Umar, whom they described as being too wicked for criminals in the area.

"If those criminals get their way, no be Ogedegbe they will kill but the soldiers. As at the time the vigilante leader was killed by the criminals, we have it on good authority that he was driving his ash coloured Mazda car, said to be bought for him by former Ethiope West LG Chairman, Jerry Wilson to go and sign register in the school as a game teacher.
