Chris Ohizu, the abducted sole administrator of Imo State’s Ideato North Local Government Area, has been beheaded.

On Sunday, the council boss was butchered after his kidnappers allegedly demanded N6 million in ransom.

On Sunday, a video of his beheading surfaced online, with his killers insisting that there would be no election in the country.

According to source in LGA , the killers of the sole administrator posted videos of the beheading with the phone of their victim on his WhatsApp status.

The source said, “The sole administrator has been beheaded. We saw videos of how he was being beheaded on Sunday. His killers posted it with his phone on his own WhatsApp status. That was how people got to know that he was beheaded.

“The videos were horrible. He was tied and half naked before he was beheaded. That was a painful way to die. They butchered him after collecting N6 million ransom.”

When contacted, the spokesperson for the police in the state, Henry Okoye, confirmed the incident and simply said “investigation is ongoing.”

The slain sole administrator was kidnapped on Friday alongside two others after burning his country home at Imoko community in the Arondizuogu area of the LGA.

He was shot before he was taken away.
