Imo LG Boss Beheaded By Kidnappers Despite Ransom Collection

Chris Ohizu, the kidnapped Sole Administrator of the Ideato North Local Government Area of Imo State has been beheaded by his abductors.

According to reports, the council boss was butchered on Sunday after his abductors allegedly received N6 million as ransom.

A source within the LGA who pleaded anonymity revealed that Ohizu's killers posted videos of the beheading with the phone of their victim on his WhatsApp status.

“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.”

Reacting to the tragedy, the spokesperson for the police in the state, Henry Okoye, confirmed the incident and said an investigation had commenced.

Ohizu was kidnapped on Friday alongside two others after his country home at Imoko community in the Arondizuogu area of the LGA was burnt.
