GUNMEN who abducted Sole Administrator of Ideato North Local Government Area of Imo State, Chris Ohizu, have beheaded him.
Stonix News reports that gunmen, often tagged “unknown gunmen” have been carrying out massacres in the south east of Nigeria over the years.
The local government chair was decapitated on Sunday after his abductors allegedly received N6 million as ransom.
Stonix News reports that Ohizu was abducted last week, with his house burnt down.
Video of his beheading surfaced online, where his killers insisted that there would be no election in the southeastern part of Nigeria.
It was gathered that the assailants published videos of the dastardly beheading with the mobile phone of their victim and uploaded it on his WhatsApp status.
“The sole administrator has been beheaded,” a source confirmed to the press.
“We saw videos of how he was being beheaded on Sunday. His killers posted it with his phone on his own WhatsApp status. That was how people got to know that he was beheaded.
“The videos were horrible. He was tied and half naked before he was beheaded. That was a painful way to die. They butchered him after collecting N6 million ransom.”
Meanwhile, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) of the Imo State Police Command, Henry Okoye, in his reaction, said investigation was ongoing.
