Governor Francis Nwifuru reacted swiftly to the abduction, condemning it as unacceptable and directing security agencies to launch a full rescue operation while urging the kidnappers to release the monarch unconditionally. Sadly, the situation took a tragic turn when the Ebonyi State Police Command confirmed that the traditional ruler had been killed on March 2, 2026.
Arrested suspects later led investigators to the hideout where his body was recovered and taken to a mortuary for autopsy. Authorities say the suspects will face charges once investigations conclude.
Reports indicate that the kidnappers had demanded a ₦250 million ransom during negotiations with the family before deciding to kill him.

Chai..may God rest his soul Amen π
ReplyDeleteSo sad. Rest in peace sir. ππΏπ
ReplyDeleteI suggest that kidnappers be unalived after they are caught. This will make others to think twice before deciding to go into it.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your suggestion.
DeleteHonestly speaking I don't why they keep them in prison, instead of K___ing them immediately..

This kidnapping thing is getting out of hands. What is Mr. President doing to curb the excesses of these wicked men. Just yesterday a post was circulating on Facebook where a corper member's paid 10million naira and they still killed him.
ReplyDeleteThese situations is making me terrified. Our lives are in danger as Nigerians, even the traditional rulers are not exempted.
Mr. President come to our aid.
This is very sadπ
ReplyDeleteIt's so unfortunate that this could happen to a former deputy governor's father. May the monarch soul rest in peace π️π️π️

ReplyDeleteThis is what southeast has turned to after their messiah shared guns to uneducated and jobless youths in the name of ESN and IPOB. They’ve separated into different parts without control. They are now the unknown gun men in the east. Hope the traditional leader that pleaded for his release saw this.
