A wave of shock and sorrow has swept across Anambra State following the tragic murder of popular entrepreneur, Ifesinachi Onyekere, also widely known in the community as “Fish Magnet.” Onyekere was reportedly gunned down by unidentified assailants in what many are describing as a brutal and senseless killing.
Eyewitness accounts reveal that the incident took place late in the night, around 10:30 p.m., when the unknown gunmen stormed the victim’s residence. They allegedly shot Onyekere in the leg to immobilize him before forcing him into his Toyota Corolla and fleeing the scene with him.
Hours after the abduction, reports began circulating that the entrepreneur’s lifeless body had been discovered. While the exact location of the discovery has been kept confidential for security reasons, several sources close to the family have confirmed the heartbreaking news.
As of now, security operatives have not issued an official statement concerning the killing. The motive behind the murder also remains unclear, leaving many residents in fear and demanding swift action and justice from authorities.
Onyekere was well known in Anambra for his contributions to local business and fish farming. His sudden death has left a void in the community and has prompted an outpouring of grief from friends, customers, and fellow entrepreneurs.
In response to the tragedy, controversial social media personality and outspoken human rights activist, VeryDarkMan, announced plans to organize a public candlelight vigil in honor of the slain businessman. The vigil is scheduled to take place on August 4 in Anambra State and aims to draw attention to the rising insecurity plaguing local communities.
