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.

The Police Public Relations Officer of the state, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, has also confirmed the development.

Ikenga also stated that operations were ongoing for the possible arrest of the suspects involved.

He said: “Yes, our operatives are currently at the scene. As soon as I get more details, I will keep you updated.”
