Body of Kidnapped Anambra Lawmaker, Justice Azuka, Found Decomposing at 2nd Niger Bridge
A combined security team has discovered the decomposing body of Hon. Justice Azuka, a member of the Anambra State House of Assembly, at the 2nd Niger Bridge.
Justice, who represented Onitsha 1 North Constituency, was kidnapped on December 24, 2024, 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).
Azuka was reportedly kidnapped at gunpoint in a swift operation that lasted less than five minutes.
Security sources confirmed that the culprits responsible for Azuka’s kidnapping and murder have been arrested.
“They were arrested very late last (Wednesday) night and they now went and showed the security men where they dumped the corpse,” the source revealed.
