Anambra: Police confirm murder of monarch’s successor, go after killers

The Anambra State Police Command has launched a manhunt for killers of Chukwuma Ojukwu, an aspirant to the Awka-Etiti conventional stool, in Idemili South LGA.

Haruna Mohammed, the spokesman, disclosed this to the Information Company of Nigeria (NAN) on Thursday.

Mohammed assured that the command will arrest the perpetrators.

“The case is below investigation to determine circumstances surrounding the incident and convey fleeing perpetrators to justice,” he mentioned.

Chukwuma was the son of the late monarch of Awka-Etiti, Igwe Akum Ojukwu.

He had insisted on changing his father, noting that the throne was hereditary.

On September 8, assailants stormed his residence in a bus and allegedly clubbed him to loss of life.

Chukwuma reportedly lived alone within the palace even after the mom and siblings left.
