Police launch manhunt for killers of monarch’s successor in Anambra

A manhunt for killers of an aspirant to the Awka-Etiti traditional stool, Chukwuma Ojukwu in Idemili, South LGA has been launched by the Anambra State Police Command.

This was disclosed to newsmen by the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Haruna Mohammed on Thursday.

Mohammed assured that the command will arrest the perpetrators.

“The case is under investigation to ascertain circumstances surrounding the incident and bring fleeing perpetrators to justice,” he said.

Chukwuma was the son of the late monarch of Awka-Etiti, Igwe Akum Ojukwu.

He had insisted on replacing his father, noting that the throne was hereditary.

On September 8, assailants stormed his residence in a bus and allegedly clubbed him to death.
