The member of the Anambra State House of Assembly, representing the constituency of the Governor of Anambra State, Professor Charles Soludo, Hon. Okechuwku Okoye who was kidnapped last week has been found dead and his body decapitated in Nnobi area of Idemili South Local Government.
His body was not there and indications were that the killers removed the body, as he and one other person were kidnapped at Aguata, abandoning his Toyota Sienna car, which Police recovered later, saying that they had deployed operatives to rescue the lawmaker and begun manhunt to track the kidnappers.
While presenting the state’s revised budget to the state
lawmakers on Friday, Governor Soludo informed them that their colleague who was
representing him in the House of Assembly was still in the kidnapper’s den.
Soludo said, ‘‘I regret that one of you, the member representing the good people of Aguata II Constituency in the House of Assembly (my own representative) – Hon. Okechukwu Okoye, is still in the custody of the kidnappers, the security agencies are working very hard and round the clock to secure his freedom. God is on the throne and Anambra will win. Let me leave it at that”.
But
the state Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Mr Tochukwu Ikenga told
Vanguard last night that Okoye had been killed and that his head was found
along Nnobi road today (Saturday).
