Some yet-to-be-identified gunmen have killed a popular businessman, Ifesinachi Onyekere, also known as “Fish Magnet”, despite the payment of an undisclosed amount for ransom.
Onyekere, a son of an All Progressives Grand Alliance chieftain in the state, was abducted on Saturday, when some assailants invaded his residence in Ezinifite community, Okpuno, Awka South LGA of Anambra State, in a late-night attack.
It was gathered that the incident sent panic and shockwaves to the area as the armed hoodlums shot the victim in the leg before whisking him away in his own car.
A source in the area told our correspondent that the hoodlums invaded the victim’s compound in an ash coloured sports utility vehicle and forced their way into his compound, where they abducted him.
