In a chilling and revealing new video documentary, one of the kidnappers involved in the brutal murder of Hon. Justice Azuka, a prominent House of Assembly member, confessed to the heinous crime at the very site where the victim’s decomposed body was discovered. The confession, which includes disturbing details about the crime, has left the public in shock and disbelief.
The tragic events unfolded on December 26, 2024, when Hon. Justice Azuka, who was a respected figure in the judicial system, was abducted by a ruthless gang of six individuals. According to the confession, the kidnappers forcibly withdrew a staggering N100 million from the victim’s account before executing him in cold blood. The suspects, all of whom are under the age of 30, have been arrested and remain in custody as investigations continue.
The following individuals have been identified as part of the crime syndicate:
-
A Nurse from Asaba: The nurse, who was reportedly complicit in the kidnapping, assisted the gang in withdrawing N100 million from Hon. Justice Azuka’s account. She has been arrested, and her pharmacy shop has been sealed by authorities.
-
A Native Doctor from Asaba: The native doctor allegedly provided charms to the kidnappers and offered them his shrine as a safe house. He, too, has been apprehended.
-
The Leader of the Kidnappers: The kingpin of the gang was residing with the native doctor in his shrine in Asaba. The confession detailed how the leader coordinated the operation, further cementing his role in the murder.
The kidnappers confessed that they shot Hon. Justice Azuka twice in the head after receiving the ransom. Their gruesome act did not end with Azuka, as the gang admitted to killing their victims after collecting ransom money. This chilling pattern was confirmed during the investigation, which has also led to the discovery of several other bodies, although the exact number remains unclear.
The shocking confession was filmed at the site where the decomposed body of Hon. Justice Azuka was found, offering a haunting reminder of the brutality of the crime. The investigation has also uncovered the remains of at least three other victims, further highlighting the gang's deadly spree.
Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra State has been commended for his swift action and determination in ensuring that the suspects were brought to justice. His efforts in combating the rising tide of kidnapping and criminality have been widely praised, as the community and the nation await the next steps in the prosecution of the suspects.
The brutal kidnapping and murder of Hon. Justice Azuka has sent shockwaves through the nation. However, the confessions and subsequent arrests of the suspects represent a step towards justice for the victim and a significant blow to criminal elements operating in the region. Governor Soludo’s leadership and the ongoing commitment to ensuring the safety of citizens are seen as crucial in the fight against crime in Anambra State.
