The spokesperson for the police in the state, Henry Okoye, in a statement on Monday, said the command had raised a team of officers to clamp down on the suspects.


The statement read in part, “The Imo State Police Command is aware of the iniquitous and obscene video that has gone viral on social media where a man, suspected to be the abducted Ideato North LGA sole administrator, was seen kneeling and his hands tied while undergoing inhuman act. He was subsequently killed by suspected members of the Proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra and its armed affiliate, Eastern Security Network.”

The police spokesman said investigation had begun into the abduction and murder of the victim.

He noted that the command was on the trail of the hoodlums before the “obscene video” surfaced on the Internet.

Okoye urged the public to assist the police with credible information and report any clandestine activities or suspicious person(s) to the nearest police station.
