Suspects in the murder of Anambra legislator Okechukwu Okoye have reportedly given orders to politicians in the state to evacuate Nigerian soldiers from ‘Biafra Land’ within 48 hours.
The 48-hour deadline was allegedly written in a note discovered beside the deceased lawmaker’s body.
Okoye, who represented Aguata State Constituency 1 in the Anambra House of Assembly, was decapitated by gunmen on May 15, along with his chauffeur, according to Anaedoonline.ng.

According to the report, the rest of his body was not visible in the two-minute clip.
The discovery of his head was accompanied by warning messages signed by ‘Unknown Gunmen’.
One of them read, “We give the politicians 48 hours to withdraw all the soldiers in Biafra land or face our wrath or consequences [sic]. Signed, Unknown Gunmen.”
