“Further information and confirmation, identify the corpse as Hon Okechuwu Okoye. The corpse has been deposited in morgue,’ a statement by the commands PRO Ikenga Tochukwu said.
The spokesman said the CP has commiserated with the family and friends of the late lawmaker, assuring them the perpetrators of this dastardly act shall be brought to book.
