A combined team of security operatives have found the decomposing body of Anambra lawmaker, Justice Azuka.
Although police authorities in Anambra State have said details of the incident are sketchy, the spokesman of the command, Tochukwu Ikenga, said police operatives had been deployed to the scene.
TheFact Daily had reported that gunmen abducted the lawmaker at about 9:20 p.m. on Tuesday, 24th December, 2024, along Ugwunapampa Road in Onitsha North Local Government Area of Anambra State, while returning home for the festive season.
The suspects were reportedly apprehended on Wednesday by security operatives from Abuja, after weeks of investigation. The arrested individuals later led authorities to the location where they had dumped the lawmaker’s remains.
According to Ikenga, further details would be made known to the public in due time.
The incident marks the second kidnapping and murder of a sitting Anambra lawmaker in recent years.
In 2022, Okey Okoye, popularly known as “Okey Di Ok” from Aguata, was abducted and beheaded.
