Remembering Otokoto, The Greatest Money Ritualist Of All Times In Igboland by PerfectJUSTICE(m): 1:23pm On Feb 08
If you're Igbo and born before the millennium, you'd definitely know about the untold story of Chief Vincent Duru, alias, Otokoto who was infamous for ritual killings. His son Obidiozor Duru then was the kingpin of the notorious Black Secret Cult that was responsible for sporadic robberies and abduction of children within Owerri, Imo State. In fact, following rumours of the nefarious activities of the Otokoto family, Owerri residents subjected the Otokotos under the radar and surveillance.
It is said there's no smoke without fire. Also, when the wind blows, the ruff of the fowl is exposed. On the 19th of September, 1996, Otokoto was incriminated. His dirty linens were washed outside, his exotic hotels, 'Otokoto hotels' were razed down. He was incarcerated and later executed 20 years after indictment.
...
After burying the ill-fated lad, he immediately left the hotel to deliver the head to a big cat, named Chief Leonard Unaogu at Eziama, Ikeduru, near Owerri. Blood was still oozing from the bag when he alighted which stirred the suspicion of the Okada man identified as Mr Hilary Ngọzi Opara. Ekeanyanwu could not deposit the head as Chief Unaogu had already left the town for Lagos. Remember the year was 1996 and there was no mobile phones. He had to go back to Owerri with the head. The bikeman quickly tipped the policemen and they intercepted Ekeanyanwu on his way back to Owerri in a Peugeot 505. Hell was let loose when the news spread. The media even fueled it as they beamed live Ekeanyanwu carrying the fresh head of little Ikechukwu.
The poeple of Owerri went berserk when they beheld the gory sight. They all trooped out in their numbers to Otokoto hotel for protest. The hotel buildings were razed down completely. They equally marched to the palatial mansion of Otokoto nearby and destroyed his expensive cars and choiced properties. The unstoppable rioters equally went round destroying other properties linked to Otokoto, even those of his friends.
