Gunmen on Saturday killed a youth leader of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), in Anambra state.
Emeka Alaehobi, the victim, was said to have been killed in Utuh, a community in Nnewi South LGA.
He was reportedly abducted on Thursday after gunmen raided his residence in Ukpor community and his lifeless body was said to have been dumped at a junction in Utuh, a few kilometres from where he was kidnapped.
Anambra state police command spokesperson, Tochukwu Ikenga, who confirmed the development, said operatives are on the trail of the attackers, adding that the perpetrators will be made to face justice.
“The corpse has been removed by some persons we were yet to identify, before our operatives got to the scene,” he said.
“Further enquiries made by our operatives from an eyewitness in the area, later identified the victim as one Emeka Alaehobi who was abducted on 9/6/2022 from his residence at Ukpor, Nnewi south.”
Anambra state has been a target of gunmen strikes in recent months.
Just last month, Okechukwu Okoye, a lawmaker representing Aguata II constituency in Anambra State, was abducted and later beheaded by gunmen.
Okoye, an indigene of Isuofia, was the lawmaker representing governor Chukwuma Soludo’s constituency.
