Police in Anambra state have recovered decaying body of Omor community president general in Ayamelum local government area of the state.
He was kidnapped and murdered by unknown gunmen. This was part of the statement made by the state governor, Willie Obiano while giving report on the security situation in the state on Sunday.
He said: “When the incident occurred, government in collaboration with the police and the community youths made sustained efforts to rescue him alive. Unfortunately, his abductors killed him in the forest and fled.
“It took efforts by the police to recover his body after an extensive search exercise.
“Let me assure all Omor people that the government and security agencies are doing everything to apprehend the kidnappers with a few arrests made already.
“Massive security deployment will also be strategically made along the Ayamelum axis to stop further incursions by criminals.
I therefore urge you to remain calm as we are handling the situation.”
The governor restated the call for collective efforts by all Anambra people to defend the state against these recent attacks on security personnel and formations as this is the only solution to forestall criminality.
He said: “We cannot allow our security achievements and status as the safest state in Nigeria to be compromised at all.
“I urge all Anambra people and residents in the State to come together, support Government and security agencies so that we can fight and win the war.
“I assure you all that I am on top of the situation and that we shall very soon surmount this challenge.”.
