Okechukwu Okoye: Soludo places N10m bounty on killers who beheaded Okoye in Anambra

Governor of Anambra State, Prof Chukwuma Charles Soludo, has announced a N10 million reward for anyone that has valuable information to lead to the immediate arrest of the perpetrators of Hon. Okechukwu Okoye’s death.

The Governor expressed shock and deep sadness over the gruesome murder of Okoye, member representing Aguata II Constituency at the State House of Assembly.

Recall that Okoye was abducted by unknown gunmen sometime last week.

Okoye’s severed head was found on Saturday without his body at Nnobi in Idemili South Local Government Area of Anambra State.

Gov Soludo, in a statement signed by his press secretary, Christian Aburime condoling with the kinsmen of Isuofia, said that those responsible for his murder are probably the same criminal gang that attacked him and killed three policemen at Isuofia two years ago.

He vowed that perpetrators of the act and all criminals in Anambra will be brought to justice.

His statement read; “Governor Soludo has consequently placed a N10 million reward for anyone or group that will avail valuable information that will lead to the immediate arrest of the perpetrators of this dastardly act. Anambra will soon be hell for these criminals.”

Soludo assured Ndi Anambra of its cooperation with the security agencies to deal with the criminals and ensure they are brought to justice.

“Anambra will win against the forces of darkness”, Gov Soludo assured, urging Ndi Anambra to brace up for the all-out war against the criminals.
