Nelson Achukwu, former Anambra lawmaker kidnapped, beheaded after paying N15m ransom

The PPRO added that the police were still not relenting on their investigation to bring to culprits to book.

A family source told SaharaReporters that they could not believe he would be killed after they paid the N15million ransom requested by his abductors.

The victim, the owner of Nelly Oil & Gas filling station located along Onuselogu road, Utuh, had earlier been abducted and released a few months ago.

Later Achukwu was said to have told his family members that his captors had accused him of providing information to the military but got released when they found out the allegations were false.

The beheading of Achukwu came one month after Okechukwu Okoye, a serving lawmaker representing Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s constituency at the State Assembly was kidnapped and later found beheaded.
