As earlier reported, Obi was killed by gunmen who stormed his country home in Ezeala, Ezike Ehime Mbano Local Government Area of Imo.

According to a source from the community, Obi was said to have been killed by some men numbering about six who came in three motorcycles to his house.

It was further gathered that the hoodlums trailed Obi to his compound at about 10 PM, after he attended a funeral and butchered him to death beyond recognition.

The assailants were said to have disguised themselves in military and police uniforms.

“They broke through the main door and started using machetes and axes on him.

“His cry for help attracted villagers to the scene, but the boys who were operating on three motorcycles, started shooting consistently into the air.

“The shooting forced everybody who had come out for his rescue back. And they abducted Dee Onye Army from that Friday night, leaving heavy blood stains in the house”, one of the villagers said.

However, his decomposed corpse was later found on Sunday by a search party organised by the community.
