Our source added that the youths of the area took the bull by the horn and moved inside the bush at the Industrial Layout along Owerri-Onitsha Express Way, where they found his lifeless body already buried by some men who were said to be security men at the Industrial Layout.
It was also gathered that the youths exhumed the corps and took it to his father’s house at Umuelele and buried him amidst tears and lamentations.
According to our source, the deceased, until his demise was one of the best footballers from Irete, who displayed his football skills in the Community Unity Cup last Christmas.
It was also said that the deceased, before he met his waterloo on Sunday, received a phone call at about 5pm and shouted to the hearing of his other siblings: “Chairman, I am coming”.
He was also said to have left with his motorcycle to see one of his chairmen at an unknown location.
Family sources said that the killers secretely returned his motorcycle and left it nearer to his compound.
The Police in Imo State is yet to issue a statement on the matter, and the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Andrew Enwerem, could not be reached for comment as at press time.
