In a statement signed by Mr Ibu’s brother, Elder Sunday Okafor, he said the deceased would be buried like a hero.

“The Okafor family in Eziokwe Amuri, Nkanu West LGA in Enugu State wishes to honour the loving memory of our hero and a legend John Ikechukwu Okafor who even in death has left a legacy of love, laughter and liveliness.
