Tears flowed freely on Monday, as the decomposing remains of Chief Robert Looloo, paramount ruler of Luuwa Community in Khana Local Government Area of Rivers State who was kidnapped in June 2019 was exhumed from a grave where he was buried by his abductors.
It was gathered that two of the alleged abductors who were recently apprehended confessed to the crime, and led security operatives in Bori to the grave, located across a river also in the community.
A native of the community, Kiine Ben, said his people had been optimistic that the chief was still alive. He said the police discovery has thrown the community into mourning.
Sources said the abductors collected several ransoms from the family with the promise to release the monarch but still murdered him.
