The unprecedented happened in Anambra State Friday, September 10, when His Royal Highness, Alex Edozieuno, the Igwe of Aguleri, was murdered and his body stretched out by the roadside, like a common criminal by gunmen.
Killed along with him was his driver, Chukwuemeka, who was shot on the head while he was still on the steering wheel. The young man was bent over in the pool of his own blood.
The Traditional Ruler, dressed in his full regalia, was, allegedly, dragged down from his car, with registration number, Aguleri 1, to the side of the road, and shot dead. His crown was left on the dash board of the car.
Details of this abominable act is still sketchy, but he was, reportedly, ambushed at Otuocha, in the Anambra-east LGA.
Recall that the Igwe was one of the eleven Traditional Rulers from the State who was suspended by the Anambra State Government for going to Abuja, at the behest of Chief Arthur Eze, on a thank you visit to President Muhammadu Buhari, without any recourse to the State Government.
The Anambra State Police Command has made no statement, so far.
