A viral video has revealed a 60-year-old man, simply identified as Mr Kenneth, being tortured to death by unidentified men over a property dispute in Nza Ozubulu, Anambra State.

According to a post by police reform advocate, Harrison Gwamnishu, on X, Kenneth had sold a water tank in the family house to address some family issues, an act that allegedly prompted his younger brother to arrest him with the help of a vigilante group.

The post claimed that Kenneth endured hours of torture, repeatedly pleading with his assailants, “What did I do?” while they accused him of theft. Tragically, he succumbed to his injuries during the ordeal.

The video sighted by PUNCH Online shows the said man being physically assaulted by two individuals wielding sticks. The victim, who was only wearing shorts and no shirt, had his hands tied behind his back while he cried out in pain.

The footage captured a total of five men present at the scene, with two of them actively beating the restrained man. One of the assailants was seen wearing a Manchester United jersey during the vicious attack.

The post further read, “I wish to call on Governor Soludo and Anambra State Police to act accordingly and ensure these perpetrators don’t escape justice.

“Currently, his wife and children are subjected to fear and intimidation as they have vowed to deal with them if they continue to seek justice for the death of Mr. Kenneth.”

Galatasaray technical director Okan Buruk has confirmed the presence of a clause in Napoli’s Victor Osimhen loan deal.
Buruk explains that the January clause in Victor Osimhen’s contract allows the player to explore opportunities with various interested clubs during the January transfer window.

This statement came during an interview on the official website of the Turkish champions, where Buruk discussed various topics related to the team.

During the interview, Buruk explained that Osimhen would like to stay at Galatasaray until the end of the season.

He noted that although there is a transfer clause in force, the player has expressed his intention to stay at the club, which he reiterated from the beginning of his arrival.

He stated, “Osimhen wants to stay here until the season is over and he has said this consistently. Although there is a clause regarding January transfers, ultimately it is the player’s decision and he feels committed to staying.”

Reflecting on how the club secured Osimhen’s services, Buruk shared: “I traveled to Milan when I had the chance. Because I lived there for three years, I feel comfortable there. We didn’t talk about football during my visit; instead, we enjoyed dinner together for two days, which helped foster a good relationship. After a match against Adana Demirspor, we had a video call at the airport to discuss the options, and after careful consultation with our transfer committee and the president, we completed the transfer.”

Osimhen joined Galatasaray on the final day of the summer transfer window after negotiations with Chelsea and Al Ahly failed to materialize. He quickly adapted to his new surroundings and made significant contributions with eight goals and four assists in just nine appearances in all competitions.
