The Monarch of the Otulu community in Ezinihitte Mbaise council area of Imo state, His Highness Eze Joe – Benz Ochulor, who was purportedly abducted from his palace on Saturday morning by gunmen, has been found dead.
The late king Olu 1 of Otulu Amumara’s lifeless body was discovered last night by the roadside at Mbutu community in Aboh Mbaise council.
The captivity of His Royal Highness, Eze (Sir) Joe-Benz Ochulor, Olu 1 of Otulu Amumara, Mbaise, has broken the lull in the State’s kidnapping of Traditional Rulers.
Between 2022 and the early months of 2023, the kidnapping of Traditional Rulers in the State was rampant. At least, three of them, died in the hands of their kidnappers.
However, the Spokesman of the Imo state police command, Mr Henry Okoye (ASP) could not be reached for confirmation of the incident.
