The incident occurred in Ekpelu, in Ikwo Local Government Area of the state, while the slain man has been identified as Sunday Nwafor, 30.

The gunmen, over five of them, were said to have stormed Nwafor’s house at night while he was asleep and shot him dead. They dragged the body out of the room, cut off his head and took it away.
