Kidnappers have killed a Lagos-based multi-millionaire and philanthropist, Mr. Ikechukwu Simeon Ebelebe, after reportedly collecting N10m ransom from his family.
The
deceased was kidnapped three weeks ago in his hometown, Owerre-Akokwa in
Ideato-North LGA of Imo State during the Easter holidays.
Late
Ebelebe owned an NGO, "Divine Iyke Foundation for Humanity”, which cares
for the elderly, orphans, students and needy.
One
Chukwuebuka Ifeanyichukwu, confirmed the sad development in a Facebook post on
Sunday, May 7, 2023.
Read his
post below:
"Creating
a MONSTER that will consume you. Few years ago, I wrote against the mayhem,
crisis and atrocities that will befall Igbo land if we keep applauding the
atrocities happening in the name of fighting for freedom. Some of u abused me
but today I'm at the edge watching and nodding my head in pain. Igbo land is
gradually turning to something else. Lives are lost on daily basis. People
can't move around freely without fear of the unknown.
"It
was on Friday 5th of May, as I was discharged from the hospital, I got home to
rest when my phone rang with a heart-breaking news that they have found your
body lifeless.
"It
was during Easter season u travelled to our hometown Akokwa for your normal
charitable and evangelical support. As usual u have many people u take care of
Orphans, students under scholarships, widows, free medical services and many
other good deeds u do for people in need. My heart bleeds MY BELOVED BROTHER (that’s
what u call me). What will be the fate of all the people under your care? Their
mentor and the lord they know is no more.
"Who
did you offend by traveling to your own village? The next story we heard was
that you have been abducted, the abductors collected a huge ransom (very huge
one up to 10). We waited for your return for weeks but no news only for you to
be seen as a dead man.
“I'm
dumbfounded. Lack words to express my feelings. May your murderer$ meet their
Waterloo so soon Jee nke oma Mr. Ikechukwu Simeon Ebelebe aka divine iyk”
