The Speaker of Anambra State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Somtochukwu Udeze has described as shocking and unfortunate the press release by the State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Tochukwu Ikenga announcing the escape of two of the arrested suspects involved in the murder of Hon. Justice Azuka of Onitsha North One Constituency in the state house of Assembly.
In a press statement in his office in Awka, on Thursday, Rt.Hon.Udeze maintained that the State House of Assembly deeply regrets the unfortunate development, which he said , casts a shadow over the otherwise commendable and professional manner in which the Police have been handling the investigation, emphasizing that the position of the State Legislature is that the fleeing suspects must be tracked and apprehended at all costs.
The Speaker called on the State Commissioner of Police to redouble his efforts and take all necessary measures to ensure that the escaped suspects are re-arrested and brought to justice, as according to him, Hon Azuka will not die in vain.
He urged the State Police to declare the escaped suspects wanted and publish their full names, addresses, and photographs to enlist public support in tracking them down.
