There is fear in Ayamelum Local Council of Anambra State following the discovery of the remains of a middle-aged man Mr, Okoye Tagbo, with his vital organs missing.

The Guardian learnt that Tagbo, a farmer, who hails from Umuokpanta, Orenja village in Omor, was said to have gone to his farm close to a disputed farmland near Anaku-Omor boundary to harvest cassava on January 10 and never returned.

The family reportedly raised the alarm when the widower with nine children failed to return at nightfall, forcing the village to launch a frantic search for him. He said: “The dead body, which we exhumed in the presence of police and military operatives that joined us in the search was without head, genital organ, hands and legs and the heart”.

Lamenting their plight in Omor, their traditional ruler, HRH Igwe Dr Chris Oranu Chidume, condemned constant abduction and killing of Omor indigenes by suspected Anaku people for alleged ritual sacrifices, adding: “This continuous killing of Ndi-Omor is certainly not a welcomed development. I condemn it in totality and so should every well-meaning citizen of Ayamelum because it’s an ill-wind that blows no one good.
