Umeh expresses grief over murder of Anambra lawmaker, Azuka

…. Stresses need to uphold sanctity of human life

The Senator representing Anambra Central Senatorial District in the Red Chamber, Distinguished Senator Victor Umeh, has expressed great shock and grief over the murder of Hon. Justice Azuka, a legislator representing Onitsha 1 North Constituency in the Anambra State House of Assembly.

The late Azuka whose decomposing body was said to have been found near the 2nd Niger Bridge on Wednesday, was kidnapped on December 24, 2024, while returning home via Ugwunaobankpa Road in Inland Town, Onitsha.

Umeh, a member of Pan African Parliament (PAP) and Chairman of Senate Committee on Diaspora matters, in a press release he personally signed, said: “I received with sadness, the news of the discovery of the decomposing body of Hon. Justice Azuka, who until his kidnap and eventual murder represented the people of Onitsha North 1 Constituency in the Anambra State House of Assembly.

“Hon. Azuka, who was elected under the platform of our Party, the Labour Party, was reported kidnapped on the 24th Day of December, 2024.

“While we prayed and hoped for his safe return, time ticked away, raising anxiety over his life and safety.

“The worst happened yesterday when the news of the founding of his decomposing body dashed our hopes!

“My Condolences go to his immediate family and Constituents that he represented, particularly his Mentor, Chief Mrs Azuka Enemuo who has been greatly traumatised during the agonizing wait for his return and the eventual news of his death yesterday.

“I heartily Commiserate with the Onitsha People and the Obi of Onitsha, His Royal Majesty, Igwe Alfred Nnaemeka Achebe, CFR.

“My Condolences also go to the Speaker and the Members of the Anambra State House of Assembly who were his Colleagues until his tragic death.

“While we grieve over this tragic and shocking end for Hon. Justice Azuka, I want to renew my call for all our people to uphold the Sanctity of Human Life and refrain from killing other People under any Circumstance.

“We should also know that the security of lives is a collective responsibility of everybody. Let us all join in fighting the insecurity that has taken our state from all of us.

“In closing, I want to commend the efforts of the Governor of Anambra State, Prof Charles Chukwuma Soludo in recent times in the ongoing War against Criminals, Evil Native Doctors, and Witches who have turned our State into a market where human parts are traded and hunted for.

“I also thank other unseen Stakeholders who have joined in hunting and crushing these evil men in our midst.

“Let us expose any criminal activity and criminals around us to enable us recover our State from these goons.

“The Security of our State and our People should rise above Political Consideration!”
