Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The beheading of Anambra lawmaker, Okechukwu Okoye has been described as an act of lawlessness and barbarity being spread in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

Okoye\u2019s head, without his body, was found on Saturday at Nnobi in Idemili South Local Government Area of Anambra State days after he was abducted.<\/p>\n

The Anambra lawmaker from Soludo\u2019s constituency was kidnapped last week.<\/p>\n

Reacting, Shehu Sani described the act as cruel and condemnable.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s even spread of lawlessness and barbarity in all parts of the country.\u201d<\/p>\n
