The traditional ruler of the Otulu community in Ezinihitte Mbaise Local Government Area of Imo State, Eze Joe Ochulor, is dead.
This comes less than 24 hours after Ochulor was abducted from his palace.
According to Daily Trust, the lifeless body of the monarch was found by the road, along the Chokoneze-Mbutu Road in Aboh Mbaise LGA.
The tragic loss has thrown the community into mourning.
Ochulor’s death comes just a few days after the ward chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the Ife/ Akpodim/Chokoneze Ward in the same Ezinihitte Mbaise LGA, Chiedoziem Anyanwu, was assassinated in the presence of his wife.
The gunmen had arrived and demanded to see him.
Upon confirming that he was the one they were looking for, they shot him and confirmed that he was dead before they left the scene.
