An orderly for Chiji Collins, a former speaker of the Imo State House of Assembly, has been discovered dead.
The victim, who has only been identified as Charles, was discovered dead in a bush in the state’s Oguta Local Government Area a few days ago.
A few weeks ago, Charles, a police inspector, and a driver were abducted in the state’s Ohaji/Egbema region.
They were allegedly traveling in a Hilux and a Sports Utility Vehicle when they were stopped and taken into a bush by their assailants.
Later, the driver was discovered dead, and Charles’ whereabouts were still being sought after.
Charles’ lifeless, already-decomposing body was later discovered in a bush a few days ago.
The victim’s colleagues told our correspondent that the command was saddened by the killing of the Inspector of police who hails from the Mbaise area of the state.
One of the sources who doesn’t want to be mentioned said, “Charles’ body was found in a bush in the Oguta area. His body has already decomposed. He was killed in such an unfortunate manner. He was given a cut on the neck. This is so disgusting.”
When contacted, the spokesperson for the police in the state, Henry Okoye, confirmed the incident and added that the state Commissioner of Police, Muhammed Berde, had commissioned a team of police investigators to apprehend the killers.
He said that the command would ensure that those who killed the Inspector are caught and made to face the full wrath of the law.
