Hoodlums behead Labour Party chieftain at drinking joint – Police

The Abia State Police Command has tragically confirmed the brutal killing of a prominent figure within the Labour Party (LP), Mr. Zachary Nmaduka, known affectionately as Power Zack M, in the town of Uturu. This incident has sent shockwaves through the community and beyond, as it represents a grim example of violence and lawlessness that must be addressed promptly and effectively.

Zachary Nmaduka, a respected 70-year-old chieftain of the LP, was a figurehead in his community and held significant influence within the political landscape of Abia State. His roots traced back to Ezieke Akpukpa Uturu in the Isiukwuato Local Government Area, where he was a well-known and respected personality.

The dreadful events unfolded at a local drinking establishment in Amelechi Akpukpa Community, where Mr. Nmaduka was violently attacked, shot, and ultimately beheaded by unidentified assailants. The sheer brutality and senselessness of this act have left the community in mourning and shock.

In response to this harrowing incident, law enforcement agencies swiftly mobilized a joint task force comprising both police and army personnel to the scene. Their mission was to secure the area, gather evidence, and initiate a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the heinous crime.

Tragically, the joint task force discovered Mr. Nmaduka’s lifeless body at the scene. Photographic evidence was meticulously captured to aid in the investigation, and his remains were respectfully evacuated and deposited at the Marist Mortuary in Uturu.

The Abia State Police Command is fully committed to uncovering the truth behind this brutal act and ensuring that those responsible face the full force of the law. The investigation is currently ongoing, and the authorities are leaving no stone unturned in their pursuit of justice for the late LP chieftain.

This deeply distressing incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of community safety and the need for continued efforts to combat violence and lawlessness in our society. Our thoughts and condolences go out to the family and loved ones of Mr. Zachary Nmaduka during this incredibly difficult time. We hope that justice will be swiftly served, and that this tragedy may serve as a catalyst for positive change in our community.
