Imo State police confirm beheading of Sole Administrator, investigation underway.
The Imo State Police Command has confirmed the beheading of the Sole Administrator of the Ideato North Local Government Area of the state, Chris Ohizu. Ohizu was kidnapped on Friday, along with two others, after his country home at Imoko community, Arondizuogu, was attacked by hoodlums. Reports suggest that the killers received a ransom of N6m before beheading Ohizu and publishing the video clips of the incident on the victim’s WhatsApp status.
The police spokesperson, Henry Okoye, released a statement on Monday, condemning the attack and confirming the investigation into the abduction and murder of the victim. He added that the command was already on the trail of the hoodlums before the video surfaced online. Okoye urged the public to provide the police with any information they may have, and to report any suspicious activity or persons to the nearest police station.
This incident is a reminder of the violence and insecurity that continues to plague Nigeria. It is unacceptable that innocent people can be attacked and killed in such a brutal manner. The Nigerian government must take steps to ensure the safety of its citizens and to bring the perpetrators of this crime to justice. It is only through a commitment to justice and security that the country can move forward and create a safer environment for all.
