Senator representing Anambra Central in the National Assembly, Victor Umeh has expressed sadness over the confirmed discovery of the decomposing body of Hon. Justice Azuka , member that represented the People of Onitsha North 1 Constituency in the Anambra State House of Assembly who was kidnapped and eventually murdered .
Umeh in a statement released on Friday said the worst happened yesterday as the news of the discovery of the Labour Party lawmakers’ decomposing body dashed people’s hopes.
He condoled with the immediate family and the Constituents that the demised lawmaker represented, particularly his Mentor, Chief Mrs Azuka Enemuo whom he noted has been greatly traumatized during the agonizing wait for Hon Azuka’s return and the eventual news of his death yesterday.
Senator Umeh also commiserated with the Onitsha People and the Obi of Onitsha, Igwe Alfred Nnaemeka Achebe, the Speaker and the Members of the Anambra State House of Assembly who were his Colleagues until his tragic death.
He renewed his call for people to uphold the Sanctity of Human Life and refrain from killing other People under any circumstance and also urged the people to realize that the security of Lives is a collective responsibility of everybody.
“Let us all join in fighting the Insecurity that has taken our state from all of us” he stated.
Umeh also commended the efforts of the Governor of Anambra State, Prof Chukwuma Soludo in recent times in the ongoing War against Criminals, Evil Native Doctors, and Witches whom he said have turned Anambra State into a “market where human parts are traded and hunted for”.
“I also thank other unseen Stakeholders who have joined in hunting and crushing these evil men in our midst. Let us expose any criminal activity and criminals around us to enable us recover our State from these goons. The security of our state and our people should rise above political considerations!” he stated.
