The council boss was said to had been beheaded on Sunday while in captivity after his abductors allegedly received six million naira as ransom.

The Video of his beheading surfaced on the social media on Sunday where his killers insisted that there would not be any election in the country.

A source from the Local Government Area, who pleaded anonymity disclosed that the killers of the Sole Administrator uploaded videos of the beheading with the phone of their victim on his WhatsApp status.

When contacted, the new spokesperson for the Imo State Police Command, Mr. Henry Okoye, said the police had seen the gory video, noting that investigation had commenced.

The slain Sole Administrator was shot and was later kidnapped on Friday last week alongside two others after setting ablaze his country house at Imoko community in Arondizuogu, Ideato North Local Government Area of the state.
