The man was seen stark naked with his two hands tied in a viral video horizontally to a stick and subjected to inhuman treatment by the suspected hoodlums.
Hoodlums have chopped off the manhood of a popular politician in the Orsu Local Government Area of the state, popularly known as Matador Enyi-Oha na Osru.
The man was seen stark naked with his two hands tied in a viral video horizontally to a stick and subjected to inhuman treatment by the suspected hoodlums.
A source said the politician was picked up by masked men in an operation along Okigwe roundabout, Owerri on Saturday.
A voice was heard in the video accusing him of being a saboteur responsible for military bombardment of Orlu during an encounter with the Eastern Security Network (ESN), the security arm of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
"This man is called Matador, Enyi-Oha na Osru. He is from Orsu Iheti Ikea in Imo State.
"A diehard lover of the Fulani slave masters because of money. He was a PA to one state House of Assembly member and also a special assistant to one House of Representatives member, but presently working for government.
“He was very instrumental in leading the Nigerian terrorists’ army to be bombing Orsu. Afterwards government released money for him to share in Orsu to say that nobody was killed in the bombings, knowing quite well that a lot of people lost their lives in the military air bombardments.
"In his next generation, he will not be a saboteur to his people. This is a warning to all those sabotaging the Biafran land,” a voice was heard saying.
Reacting to the viral video, the state police command said it had commenced investigation into the incident.
"The Imo Commissioner of Police Abutu Yaro is aware of the iniquitous and obscene video that has gone viral on social media where a man was seen tied horizontally to a stick undergoing inhuman act by some suspected hoodlums,” a statement by the command’s spokesperson, Michael Abattam read.
However, a check by SaharaReporters on YouTube showed that the video has been deleted from the platform.
