They were abducted on May 15 by yet to be identified persons. Okoye hailed from Isuofia in Aguate LGA, the same community as Soludo.
The Governor, in a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Christian Aburime, said he received the news of their gruesome murder with shock and deep sadness, and vowed to ensure that the perpetrators were brought to book.
He stated: “Gov Soludo condoles with his kinsmen of Isuofia, noting that it is probably the same criminal gang that attacked him and killed three policemen at Isuofia two years ago that are once again on the prowl.
“But they can never cow down Isuofia Community and Anambra State.
“Gov. Soludo, still in shock over the barbaric acts against his two kinsmen, vowed that the perpetrators as well as all criminals operating in Anambra must be decisively brought to book.
“The Governor has consequently placed a N10 million reward for anyone or group that will avail valuable information that will lead to the immediate arrest of the perpetrators of this dastardly act,” he said.
The Governor reiterated his resolve to make Anambra uncomfortable for criminal elements in no distant time, and assured citizens and residents of the government’s renewed determination with the security agencies to go all out against the criminals and ensure they are brought to justice.
“Anambra will win against the forces of darkness, I urge Anambra people to brace up for the all out war against the criminals”.
