In the process of the beating he was said to have slumped and lost consciousness while the missing phone was later found by a corps member who returned it.

A neighbor who pleaded anonymity alleged that Ezra who sustained fraxture on his left hand and another fracture on his right leg and injuries on his face, was left half naked in the security room until the security man who was to relieve him saw him in that state and quickly alerted the security company.

Ezra was taken to the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Teaching hospital at about 2:00 pm and medical officials pronounced him dead at 3:15pm.

A Police source confirmed the incident which he said is a culpable homicide reported at the Yelwa Police Division and has swung into action to uncover the happening that led to the death of Ezra.

The Police source added that though some arrests had been made, efforts are on to get all those involved in the matter arrested after which all those found culpable will be prosecuted.
