Gunmen have kidnapped Justice Azuka, a member of the Anambra State House of Assembly, representing Onitsha North Constituency.

The incident occurred on Tuesday night while Azuka was returning home along Ugwunapampa Road in Inland Town, Onitsha.

According to SP Tochukwu Ikenga, Anambra State Police Public Relations Officer, efforts are underway to rescue the lawmaker and arrest his abductors. Ikenga stated, “The Anambra Police Command has activated operational plans for the possible rescue and arrest of the kidnappers of Mr. Justice Azuka, Honourable State House of Assembly member representing Onitsha North Constituency.”

Ikenga added, “The report of the incident indicates that on December 24, 2024, at about 9:20 pm, while returning home along Ugwunapampa Road, he was abducted by unidentified persons.

“The Command is working on leads to ensure his rescue and the arrest of those responsible. Further updates will be provided as the investigation progresses”.

Azuka, a member of the Labour Party, had recently reclaimed his mandate after a court nullified the victory of Douglas Egbuna of the Peoples Democratic Party in the 2023 election.
