On Monday 5th July 2021, The Imo Police Command has said that members of the Eastern Security Network (ESN) have beheaded their chief priest identified as Paschal Okeke in the state.
In a statement released on Monday by CSP Michael Abattam, the media adviser to the state Commissioner of Police, CP Abutu Yaro, the victim is a resident of Umudim Ukwu Orji Awomama in Orlu East Local Government Area of the state.
Abattam added that the incident happened on June 25 during a raid on the ESN’s camp by security agents.
He said that large sums of money were given to the deceased with promises of invisibility for the secessionist members and decimation by the Police troops.
”They shot him, decimated his remains, excised the head, and burnt the body and his house for the futile efficacy of the charms he had given the group over time and the colossal failure to protect them from Police bullets,” Abattam said.
