The decomposing body of a Member the Anambra State House of Assembly, representing Onitsha 1 North Constituency kidnapped on 24, December, 2024, Justice Azuka, has been found around the 2nd Niger Bridge.
The lawmaker was abducted while returning home on Ugwunaobankpa Road in Inland Town, Onitsha.
The abducted lawmaker, a chieftain of the Labour Party (LP), had regained his mandate after a court ruling ousted the previous winner, Hon. Douglas Egbuna of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who was initially declared the winner of the 2023 election.
“We have arrested the culprits that kidnapped and killed him. They were arrested very late Wednesday night and they now went and showed the security men where they dumped the corpse,” a security source said.
“It is sad and tragic. What a huge loss. May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace. Amen. Our condolences and heart-felt sympathy to his family, traditional ruler of Onitsha, Obi of Onitsha, Dr Alfred Achebe and the entire people of Onitsha North Constituency 1,” he said.
