A lifeless body, yet to be identified, was found hanging from a tree in Amichi, Nnewi South Local Government Area, prompting an increase in police surveillance across the State.

This incident follows a similar discovery two weeks prior in Idemili North Local Government Area, where a pregnant woman was found hanging.

The body, discovered in a secluded area of the community, was found dangling from a mango tree.

Police received the report from an anonymous caller who used the deceased’s phone.

Anambra State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, confirmed the discovery.

Commissioner of Police Ikioye Orutugu has ordered a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death and has directed increased surveillance and intelligence gathering across the State to prevent further incidents and understand the motives behind these deaths.

The body has been taken to the morgue, and police are working to contact the deceased’s family to understand the possible cause and motive.

The Police emphasized their commitment to maintaining public safety and bringing anyone responsible for criminal activity to justice.

Police say they will issue further updates as the investigation progresses.
