The police in Anambra have caught a person suspected of committing a robbery. This person is believed to be connected to the murder of Justice Azuka, a member of the Anambra House of Assembly who belonged to the Labour Party.

A police spokesperson from the state, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, shared this information in a statement on Wednesday in Awka.

His body was found on February 6 in the bushes near the Second Niger Bridge in the state. He said the command, through members of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS), arrested the suspect who was seriously hurt during a big attack in Ogbaru Local Government Area on December 8.

“The suspect, a 26-year-old male, is a dangerous criminal with a long history of violent offences.

“He was apprehended in Iyowa Odekpe, Ogbaru LGA, after a fierce confrontation with the Police Operatives,” he said.

Ikenga said that during the operation, one locally made Beretta pistol and eleven live ammunition rounds were recovered.

He explained that the suspect, known for his violent criminal activities, was found to have a large tattoo on his body with the inscriptions “No Forgiveness” and “No Mercy.”

According to Ikenga, the tattoo is a disturbing reminder of the hardened nature of his criminal mindset.
