Okoye’s head was found at Nnobi in Idemili South local government area where it was hanged.
His body was not there with indications strong the killers made away with it.
The lawmaker was kidnapped last week, alongside his aide, Cyril Chiegboka.
Both Okoye and Chiegboka were kidnapped in his Toyota Sienna car, while on the road, by the heartless and barbaric murderers on 15th May.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) gathered that the police later recovered the car and deployed operatives to rescue the lawmaker.

Anambra Police spokesman Ikenga Tochukwu confirmed that the lawmaker has been killed.
He said: “His head was found along Nnobi road today (Saturday). There is no suspect in custody yet.”
Meanwhile, Anambra State governor,
Prof Chukwuma Charles Soludo, has condemned the gruesome murder Of Okoye.
In a statement signed by Governor Soludo’s Chief Press Secretary, Christian Aburime, the governor pledges 10 million naira reward for any valuable information to track the killers.
Gov Soludo condoles with his kinsmen of Isuofia, noting that it is probably the same criminal gang that attacked him and killed three policemen at Isuofia two years ago that are once again on the prowl. But they can never cow down Isuofia and Anambra state.
Governor Soludo, still in shock over the barbaric acts against his two kinsmen, vowed that the perpetrators as well as all criminals operating in Anambra must be decisively brought to book.
Governor Soludo assured that Anambra will soon be a hell for such criminals, Gov Soludo assured.
He wishes to reassure Ndi Anambra of government’s resolve and renewed determination with the security agencies to go all out against the criminals and ensure they are brought to justice.
“Anambra will win against the forces of darkness”, Gov Soludo assured, urging Ndi Anambra to brace up for the all out war against the criminals.
