Police recover lifeless body of abducted Anambra man

The Anambra State Police Command has confirmed the recovery of the body of Mr. Ozor  Chido, who was kidnapped four days earlier by unidentified gunmen in Nimo, located in the Njikoka Local Government Area.

In a statement released on Friday by the command’s Public Relations Officer, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, authorities said the victim’s remains were found in the early hours of Monday near his piggery, the same location where he was abducted on June 19.

Ikenga revealed that officers had launched a rescue effort promptly after the abduction was reported but were ultimately unable to save the victim.

“The operatives were still actively involved to rescue the victim but unfortunately, his lifeless body was discovered on 23rd June, 2025, near his farm in Nimo,” Ikenga stated.

He continued, “The Command sympathises with the victim’s family and the community and assures that it shall leave no stone unturned in unmasking the suspects behind the dastardly act.”

The statement also noted that the state’s Commissioner of Police, Nnaghe Orutugu, has personally reached out to the bereaved family and the residents of Nimo to offer his condolences.

Ikenga added, “The Command has also stepped up efforts to arrest the suspects behind this heinous crime.”
