Prof Chukwuma Soludo, the governor of Anambra State, has stated that the assassination of Hon Okey Okoye, a member of the State House of Assembly, was intended to test his determination.
However, Soludo declared in a post on his verified Facebook account that the murders will never go unpunished.
Last Saturday, Hon. Okechukwu Okoye, well known as Okey d Okay, a member of the Aguata II State constituency, and his assistant, Cyril Chiegboka, were abducted, killed, and decapitated.

In the post, Soludo said: “No human being should ever have to experience death in that way. For no just reason, rampaging criminals have elected to desecrate our land with the blood of the innocent.
“This is a test of our resolve, and we are more emboldened than cowed that this criminality must be stamped out of our land. The party is over, and every community must brace up to join forces with government in this war to reclaim our homeland.
“Okey and Cyril will never die in vain. May God console their young families, the people of Isuofia and ndị Anambra. May their souls and all others who have lost their lives in the hands of these criminals continue to rest in peace,” he said.
The governor had earlier announced a have placed a ten million N10,000,000 bounty on the heads of the killers for anyone with useful information on the killers.
