The Commissioner of Police in Anambra State, Nnaghe Itam, announced the arrests during a press briefing.

One suspect sustained a leg injury during a gunfight with the police.
The arrested individuals are:
One of the suspects, Ugochukwu Onuorah, confessed that they beat the lawmaker to death, while other gang members accused him of shooting Azuka. They admitted to initially demanding a N20 million ransom but denied receiving any payment before killing him.
