The Anambra State Police Command has confirmed the recovery of two decomposed female bodies believed to be among three Cameroonian women allegedly kidnapped in the state.
The bodies were found in the Omambala River in Anambra West Local Government Area following an intensive search operation conducted on Friday evening by operatives of the Rapid Response Squad, Awkuzu, in collaboration with professional divers and local volunteers.
In a statement issued on Saturday, the command’s spokesperson, SP Ikenga Tochukwu, said the bodies were positively identified by the victims’ family members as Mrs Bognou Alice and her niece, Miss Sandra. They have since been deposited in a mortuary for further examination and investigative procedures.
The police had earlier arrested two suspects, identified as 37-year-old Nonso Augustine Akpeh and 44-year-old Kingsley Akpeh, who are currently assisting investigators with vital information.
Commissioner of Police, CP Ikioye Orutugu, extended his condolences to the bereaved families and directed intensified search efforts to locate the remaining missing victim. He also ordered the immediate apprehension of a third suspect, Uchenna Nicholas Mmadu, who is currently at large.
“The Commissioner further reassures the public of the command’s unwavering commitment to protecting lives, maintaining security, and delivering justice,” the police statement added.
In a related development, in February reported the discovery of the lifeless body of Justice Azuka, the member representing Onitsha North 1 Constituency in the Anambra State House of Assembly, along the 2nd Niger Bridge.
