A 73-year-old man, Obadiah Eliaku, has been murdered in his farm at Akuzor Nkpor, Idemili North Local Government Area of Anambra State.
He was beheaded by yet-to-be-identified persons.
Eliaku was said to have gone to his farm on the Nkisi River bank with his son, Cheta, to clear the farm, where he was attacked by some people wielding all sorts of weapons.
His son, who escaped, raised the alarm, which attracted people in the community.
They later found the headless body of the 73-year-old farmer.
The Anambra State Commissioner of Police, Garba Umar, has enjoined communities in the state to follow due process in resolving land disputes, while assuring that the killers would be tracked.
