Okorocha places N20m on Imo APC chieftain’s killers

Imo state Governor, Rochas Okorocha, has pledged a N20 million reward for anyone with credible information that will lead to the arrest of those behind the assassination of the Ideato North local government chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Sunny Ejiagwu.
The Imo governor described the gruesome murder as “purely a case of mindless assassination, looking at the circumstances of the killing.” He said: “Considering the fact that nothing was taken away from the man or removed from his car, it should not have been therefore a case of armed robbery, and looking too at the fact that there was no sign of resistance or struggling between the killers and the victim and the method of shooting, the issue of kidnapping should also be ruled out.
“The man’s head and body were shattered with bullets following several gunshots just to make sure that he had no chance of being revived, and that could only be done by wicked assassins.” The governor, who stated this when political and community leaders from Ideato North council area came to officially inform him about the murder, gave the assurance that the killers of the APC chieftain, popularly known as Ohaneze, will soon be apprehended and made to “face the consequences of their wicked act.” “I’m here placing a price tag that whoever can give any useful information to the killers of Chief Ejeagwu, this government will release the sum of N20 million immediately just to make sure we arrest whoever killed this innocent soul”.
