Bandit, Bandits, Gunmen

Less than 24 hours after killing Hon. Okechukwu Okoye, lawmaker who represented Aguata II constituency at the Anambra State House of Assembly, gunmen suspected to be members of the proscribed Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB) have threatened to kill more Anambra lawmakers.

Honourable Okoye was kidnapped in Aguata on May 15, but his head was found in Nnobi, Idemili South Local Government Area of the state, on Saturday.

Newsband sighted a note dropped beside the head of Okoye which was dumped by the roadside.

“In the note, the killers vowed that more heads would roll. The letter was not to clear due to rain drops, but it started with the word “warning”.

“At some point, it read, ‘everywhere you go, you cannot hide anywhere. We will go after you one by one because soldiers and police is (sic) no longer our problem.”
