Okeke was said to have been macheted by his attackers numbering seven in his compound and a keg of fuel poured on him before he was lit up and left to burn to death.
The controversial activist who had dragged many celebrities and media outfits, including CNN to court for allegedly defaming President Muhammadu Buhari and his administration was killed in Nkpor, near Onitsha, Anambra State, in the presence of his wife, Mrs Blessing Odinakachi Okeke and his little daughter.
Speaking on his death, his wife, Blessing, claimed that he was killed by his tenant.
She accused the tenant named ‘Chiadiobi’ of conniving with several others to kill her husband. She revealed that her husband had a rift with the tenant over rent.
On the day he died, Okeke and Chiadiobi had a confrontation and unbeknownst to the former, the latter had brought along many boys armed with machetes.
She said; “Before my husband could do anything, they macheted him, and the fuel we wanted to pour into our gen, they poured it on him and lit him up, and that was how my husband died.”
She said the deceased was rushed to a hospital in Enugu where he gave up the ghost.
She lamented that Chiadiobi was still walking and acting ‘untouchable’ even though the matter has been reported to the Police.
