“The case is under investigation to ascertain circumstances surrounding the incident and bring fleeing perpetrators to justice,” he said.

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

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

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

Chukwuma reportedly lived alone in the palace even after the mother and siblings left.
