The Anambra State Police Command has started an investigation to unravel who killed a man and dumped him in the river.
The body of a middle-aged man whose identity is yet to be ascertained was found floating in a river in Ojoto community in Idemmili South Local Government Area of Anambra State.
Police patrol team attached to Ojoto Division, acting on a tipoff, stormed the river known by the villagers as Mmili John at about 10 am on Thursday and took the corpse to the mortuary in Michael Hospital, Umuoji for autopsy.
Giving further insight into the development, the Anambra State police public relations officer, SP Haruna Mohammed, said that the deceased’s hands were tied behind his back with bruises all over his head.
He said that the Commissioner of Police CP John Abang has ordered a full-scale investigation into the ugly development to unravel the circumstances surrounding the incident with a view to bringing the perpetrators to justice.
Haruna, however, implored the members of the public whose relations went missing and whose description matched the one attached to the police report to go to the Ojoto Division for possible identification of the corpse.
