Gunmen behead Imo state LG administrator after collecting ransom

Chris Ohizu, the kidnapped sole administrator of Imo State’s Ideato North Local Government Area, has been beheaded.

The council chief was killed on Sunday after his kidnappers allegedly received N6 million ransom.

On Sunday, a video of his beheading appeared online, with his killers adamant that there would be no election in the nation.

The killers of the lone administrator posted videos of the beheading on his WhatsApp status using the victim’s phone, according to a source from the LGA who wished to remain anonymous.

The source said, “The sole administrator has been beheaded. 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.”

Henry Okoye, a spokesman for the state’s police, acknowledged the occurrence when reached and merely stated “investigation is ongoing.”

Following the burning of his country house in the Imoko community in the Arondizuogu region of the LGA, the murdered lone administrator was kidnapped on Friday along with two others.

He was shot before he was taken away.
