Senator Nwoye Laments Killing Of Lawmaker In Anambra Kidnappers’ Den

Senator Tony Nwoye representing Anambra North Senatorial District has condemned the killing of Anambra House of Assembly member, Justice Azuka saying it was another pointer to the insecurity that prevails in the state.

Noting that Hon Justice Azuka was an embodiment of virtue and a bridge-builder, Senator Nwoye said that the manner of death in the hands of kidnappers was indicative of a synchronisation of ideas to stop the tide of insecurity.

“With a heavy heart, on behalf of the good people of Anambra North Senatorial District, I mourn the painful loss of my dear  brother, constituent and colleague, Hon. Justice Azuka who was the honorable member representing Onitsha North Constituency 1 at Anambra state house of assembly before he was kidnapped.

“Hon Azuka was humane, humble and honest. He was a bridge-builder, a team player and lived up to his name justice in his personal conduct which exemplifies fairness.

“He will be sorely missed by the grassroot Labour Party family for he was down to earth party man.

“It is so disheartening and devastating to learn that a Combined Security team found his corpse  at 2nd Niger Bridge Onitsha after  more than one month of his being  kidnapped since the 24th December, 2024 along Ugwunabakpa road Inland town Onitsha. What a sad way to cut short a young, enterprising and most promising life! Such heart rending tragedy!

“Our  condolences and heart-felt sympathy to Hon Azuka’s family, the traditional ruler of  Onitsha, HRH Igwe Dr Alfred Achebe(the Obi of Onitsha), and the entire people of Onitsha North Constituency 1.

“The prevailing insecurity in Anambra State has cost us one life too many. And the greatest respect we can pay to the lives of these numerous citizens who get caught up in this disarray is to join hands as a people to put a stop to this menace, that is now proving an existential threat to our dear state. May the gentle soul of Hon Justice Azuka rest in eternal peace. Amen,” Nwoye said.
