The victim, identified as Ifesinachi Onyekere, was reportedly abducted from his residence in Ezinifite village, Okpuno, in the Awka area of the state on Saturday, July 27, 2025.

His car, a navy blue Toyota Corolla, was recovered along the Ukwulu/Igbariam Road by a Joint Security Team comprising police officers and Anambra Vigilante operatives.
Ikenga said the Commissioner of Police, CP Ikioye Orutugu, has directed all tactical and intelligence units to intensify efforts in tracking down the perpetrators.
“The Commissioner of Police, CP Ikioye Orutugu, fwc MNIPS PhD, has directed all tactical and intelligence units to redouble their efforts in tracking down the armed men responsible for the abduction and subsequent killing of Mr. Ifesinachi Onyekere,” the statement said.
