GPRN/NSCN ‘under secretary’ identified as Tohokhe Awomi son of late Zhekiye from Hoito village was reportedly abducted and killed and body was found near Jalukie bridge by passersby, said a GPRN/NSCN source.
According to GPRN/NSCN source, Tohokhe was abducted around 2 p.m. from Dimapur while he was driving his brand new Maruti Alto car and was taken to Medziphema area. GPRN/NSCN also accused NSCN (K) cadres of taking away late Tohokhe’s car away after killing him.
When contacted, NSCN (K) source said that in pursuance of its clamp down on extortion, its cadres took up the action as Tohokhe was “misusing” NSCN (K)’s name and was extorting in the name of the group since last year. The same source added that the deceased had “confessed” to extorting the public since the time the faction split.
NSCN (K) source also further alleged that its “receipts, challans and other materials” were also found in the possession of Tohokhe and said that the action was taken against him not as a member of any political group or faction but because of “extortion”.
GPRN/NSCN condemns killing
Meanwhile, GPRN/NSCN has strongly condemned the killing its member Tohokhe Awomi, who was “abducted” from Dimapur town and “ruthlessly killed” in Kuki Dolong area around 3:30 p.m. Saturday.
In a statement issued by its MIP, GPRN/NSCN expressed its “utter bitterness” to NSCN (K) for abducting and killing a civilian “national worker” in cold blooded and in a most gruesome manner demonstrating their “lunacy”.
Declaring to put an end to such “undesired activities,” GPRN/NSCN warned NSCN (K) that remaining quite and observing as a silent spectator did not mean that GPRN/NSCN was weak.
Maintaining it was restraining itself not to hurt the sentiment of the people, GPRN/NSCN said henceforth it would leave no stone unturned but show “an exemplary” if such acts continued.
Stating that NSCN (K) wilfully exhibited their “acts of cowardice” by hunting for “unarmed soft target”, GPRN/NSCN said It can never forget what was done but only “concretise” devotion to the cause and resolved that “this dead shall not have died in vain”.
The MIP statement also extended its condolence to the bereaved family of late Tohokhe Awomi, ‘under secretary’, GPRN/NSCN and prayed that Almighty bless the departed soul.
