A 55-year-old man was found hacked to death in Abaha, Obi-Orodo in Mbaitoli Local government area in Imo state.
In a statement released by the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Ikeikwu Orlando on Monday, June 22, he said operatives of the Divisional Police Headquarters, Mbaitoli acting on a report earlier made to the station, moved to an isolated area around the Ahaba Orodo Community School and found the corpse of the 55-year-old man identified as Patrick Uchenwoke, in the pool of his own blood.
”Operatives discovered that he had a deep machete cut at the back of his head, while a bicycle and bible was seen beside the corpse, thus suggesting that he must have been murdered while going or returning from church.” the statement read.
Ikeokwu said the state Commissioner of Police, Imo State has ordered a full-scale investigation into the matter with a view to arresting the assassins as well as unraveling the reason behind the dastardly act.
Meanwhile, the corpse has been deposited in the morgue while an investigation progresses.
