Okoye and one other person were abducted on Sunday, May 15, at Aguata. His Toyota Sienna car was abandoned at the scene.
He hailed from the same constituency as Charles Soludo, the state governor.
The discovery of his head was accompanied by two warning messages signed by ‘Unknown Gunmen’.
One of the messages read, “We give the politicians 48 hours to withdraw all the soldiers in Biafra land or face our wrath or consequences [sic]. Signed, Unknown Gunmen.”
Tochukwu Ikenga, spokesman of the police in Anambra, confirmed the incident to FIJ, and said Echeng Echeng, the state Commissioner of Police, had promised that the perpetrators would be apprehended.
