According to Goodluck who refuted claims that members of the vigilante group were involved in his death, Elemchukwu died as a consequence of an accidental discharge.
He said;
“Yesterday around after 8am, I was in the office when I received a call that Elem has shot himself dead.
“When we got there, we found him dead. I asked people around there what had happened to our boy. They showed me the shop where he came to buy something.
“Then he left and started his motorcycle. He was holding a dane gun. In the process of starting the bike, the gun fell down, hitting its head on the ground.
