Justice Azuka, lawmaker representing Onitsha-North state constituency in Anambra state House of Assembly, has been found dead.
The decomposing body of Azuka, who was abducted on the eve of Christmas in 2024, was discovered on the 2nd Niger Bridge, still in Anambra, today.
The deceased was heading to celebrate the Yuletide with family members when gunmen abducted him at Ugwunakpamkpa, Inland Town, Onitsha.
However, security operatives who were investigating his kidnap arrested some suspects who took them to where the Labour Party member’s corpse was found.
Police Public Relations Officer in Anambra, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, confirmed the development.
Azuka is the second serving lawmaker in Anambra to be killed in the last two years.
