Panic has escalated in Anambra State after the decomposing body of Hon. Justice Azuka, a member of the Anambra State House of Assembly was found on Thursday.
Azuka had been reported missing since last December.
It was gathered that the body of the lawmaker was found at the 2nd Niger Bridge by a combined security team, who have been in search of him since he went missing.
