Nigerian police last week found the amputated head of a missing state legislator in southeastern Anambra.
The southeastern part of the home of the Ivo ethnic group has instigated secession from other parts of Nigeria, and the banned Biafra Indigenous (IPOB) group has led these calls.
Okechukwu Okoey, a member of the Anambra State Parliament and his aide, went missing on May 15.
“Members were killed. His head was found along Novi Road. No suspects have been detained yet,” Ikenga said.
The Governor of Anambra provided a reward of 10 million naira ($ 24,000) for information about the murderer.
