    Panic has gripped the Nimo community in the Njikoka Local Government Area of Anambra State following the murder of a prominent traditional titleholder and community leader popularly known as ‘High Chief Ozo na Nimo’.

     

    It was gathered that the elder statesman, who was, until the incident, a member of the Nimo Royal Cabinet, was abducted from his farm on June 19.

     

    According to eyewitness accounts, the masked men stormed the farm, causing panic among workers who fled the scene, leaving the victim, who was taken away at gunpoint.

     

    One of the eyewitnesses said, “The masked assailants stormed the farmland where ‘high chief’ was supervising activities, throwing the place into confusion as workers fled for their lives, abandoning only him.

     

    “The gunmen seized the elderly man at gunpoint and whisked him away, shortly after which they contacted his family and demanded N15 million as ransom for his freedom.

     

    “Despite the payment of a ₦15 million ransom to secure his release, the abductors killed him.

     

    “His lifeless body, bearing deep machete cuts on the head, was later found dumped on the same farmland where he was kidnapped. The murder has sent shockwaves through the community.   @punch newspaper
