Several spent bullet shells were also found close to the corpse, indicating that he may have been shot several times.

Despite the quest by Governor Chukwuma Soludo to end the sit-at-home, gunmen have continued to attack and maim residents who dared to venture out.
The sit-at-home was ordered by the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB to press for the release of its leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
The group later cancelled the sit-at-home following complaints by residents of the region and killing of violators by gunmen.
The group has also denied culpability in the killings and enforcement.
Details later.
