Activist Kenechukwu Okeke, a staunch President Muhammadu Buhari’s supporter, who sued several Nigerian celebrities for promoting the End SARS campaign, has been murdered in his home in Anambra State.
Recall that Okeke in November 2020, following the EndSARS protest and awful incident, had sued Tuface Idibia, Davido, Yemi Alade, Falz, Pastor Sam Adeyemi and many others for their support in the movement.
He went further to sue CNN for defaming President Muhammadu Buhari and his administration with their report.
The activist has been murdered in Nkpor, near Onitsha, Anambra State, in the presence of his wife and their child.
According to his wife, Mrs Blessing Odinakachi Okeke, her husband was macheted by 7 men alongside their former neighbour, Chiadiobi.
Odinakachi narrated how the incident occurred and the reoccurring ones prior to her husband’s death.
She said the notorious neighbour brought some men to their house to terrorise them and they beat her husband using machetes till they killed him.
They also burnt the deceased with the fuel they had intended to use for their personal use.
She said, “Chiadiobi was living in our house, but when he packed out without our knowledge and asked to be given two months of his rent that he left, we told him he should have notified us that he was packing out.
“My husband was not around the day he came but I told him he packed out of the house without our knowledge and should not be given back any money.
“He threatened to deal with us, saying he will teach my husband a lesson. I called my husband and told him what the boy said and that he should not come to confront him, since they say he is a bad boy.
“My husband later reported the matter to the DSS and to the police, and he was made to write an undertaking, but he was still coming to terrorize us.
“Sometimes he will come to our house and break open the gate and come in and pick whatever he wants to pick.
“One day, he came to our house and my husband confronted him, without knowing that he had many boys with him downstairs, and before my husband could do anything, they macheted him, and the fuel we wanted to pour into our gen, they poured it on him and lit him up, and that was how my husband died.”
