The decomposing body of a member of the Anambra State House of Assembly, Justice Azuka, has been discovered on the Second Niger Bridge.

Azuka’s body was discovered by a combined security team about 42 days after his abduction.

The lawmaker representing Onitsha North Constituency 1 was kidnapped on December 24, 2024, on Ugwunabankpa Road, Inland Town, Onitsha.

After weeks of investigation, security operatives from Abuja apprehended the suspects late on Wednesday.

The arrested individuals later led authorities to the location where they had dumped the lawmaker’s remains.

Police authorities in Anambra State have said details of the incident are sketchy.

However, the spokesperson of the command, Tochukwu Ikenga, said police operatives had been deployed to the scene.

According to him, further details would be made known to the public in due course.

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.

His body was later found around the Nnobi area of the state.
