LEADERSHIP reports that Oluwu was shot dead as he attempted to intervene when the gunmen, who were about seven and came with two cars, pointed gun at the OYF President and ordered him into one of the cars
Confirming the recovery of Azuazu’s headless body, OSPAC spokesman, Godnews Nkem, said the corpse was recovered from a forest in Omoku on Friday afternoon, several hours after his abduction.
Nkem advised residents of Omoku to remain calm and allow the Nigerian Police, the Department of State Services (DSS) and other relevant security agencies to carry out their investigation with a view to arresting the culprits.
