A source quoted by PUNCH said, “The sole administrator has been beheaded. We saw videos of how he was being beheaded on Sunday.
“His killers posted it with his phone on his own WhatsApp status. That was how people got to know that he was beheaded.
“The videos were horrible. He was tied and half-naked before he was beheaded. That was a painful way to die. They butchered him after collecting N6 million ransom.”
