An Imo state\u00a0 born business man who was kidnapped last month by unknown\u00a0 persons have been found dead inside bush.<\/p>\n

Ikechukwu Simeon Ebelebe who was based in Lagos was kidnapped in his hometown Owerre Akokwa<\/a>, Ideato North local government area of Imo state on April 17 while coming home for Easter celebration.<\/p>\n

WITHIN NIGERIA gathered that after much negotiation, his abductors collected a ransom of N10m.<\/p>\n

However, unfortunately, his abductors went ahead and killed him.<\/p>\n

Our reporter gathered that his remains was found inside the bush at Orumba South LGA, Anambra State.<\/p>\n

Our source who preferred anonymity explained that “it happened that passer-by noticed a foul smell in the area and upon investigation, found a dead body which the police were contacted and confirmed that it was Ikechukwu’s body. His body was deposited in a mortuary.<\/p>\n

“He was kidnapped in his hometown – Owerre-Akokwa in Ideato-North LGA of Imo State when he went home for village meeting.<\/p>\n

“He was known to be a good man who owns a foundation named “Divine -Iyke Foundation for Humanity”, that cares for the elderly and the less privileged in the East.”<\/p>\n

Another close friend of the deceased Chukwuebuka Ifeanyichukwu who spoke to WITHIN NIGERIA explained that as “I was discharged from the hospital, I got home to rest when my phone rang with a heartbreaking news that they have found his body lifeless.<\/p>\n

“It was during Easter season he traveled to our home town Akokwa for your normal charitable and evangelical support. As usual\u00a0 he has\u00a0 many people he takes care of; Orphans, students under scholarships, widows, free medical services and many other good deeds he does for people in need.<\/p>\n

“We waited for his return for weeks but no news only for him to be seen as a dead man; killed by his own tribesmen.<\/p>\n

“I’m dumbfounded. I lack words to express my feelings.”<\/p>\n

The Police\u00a0 Public Relations Officer, Imo state police command, Henry Okoye could not confirm the incident as he didn’t pick his calls.<\/p>\n
