- The police have intensified efforts to re-arrest them
Two suspects linked to the murder of Hon. Justice Azuka, the late member representing Onitsha 1 Constituency in the Anambra State House of Assembly, have escaped from police custody.
Anambra State Police Command spokesperson, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, confirmed the escape in a statement on Tuesday, adding that Commissioner of Police CP Ikioye Orutugu has launched a manhunt for the fugitives and ordered disciplinary action against officers found negligent.
According to Ikenga, the suspects were assisting police in an operation to apprehend a stolen goods receiver and recover operational vehicles used by the gang when they fled. While the receiver was arrested and two vehicles recovered, the two suspects managed to escape.
The police have intensified efforts to re-arrest them, with the CP assuring the public that justice will be served.
