How Anambra Billionaire and owner of Fireman Generator Ignatius Odunukwe was murdered by criminals posing as land buyers.

After negotiations, both parties agreed on a price and the agreement was drafted by IG Odunukwe’s lawyer.

His lawyers suggested going with him to sign the paper works but he turned them down saying he also had a meeting at Ikoyi club before meeting the land buyers.

He left for that meeting and was never seen again.

May his soul rest in peace.
