Lawyer’s corpse, Garricks Anyanwu has been found dead.

The decomposing corpse was found dead in a bush in the Orodo community in the Mbaitoli Local Government Area of Imo state, four days after he was declared missing.

According to Mbamala, the slain lawyer would be buried on Wednesday.

He wrote “Barr. Garricks Anyanwu was murdered by unknown assassins in his home town Orodo Mbaitoli L.G.A. lmo State. According to information his decomposing body was found in the bush on Friday 5/4/2024. This was after his disappearance for 4 days.

“It was also gathered that he will be buried on Wednesday, 10/4/2024.

Garricks Anyanwu was my classmate at Enugu State University of Science and Technology, Enugu, a class of 2003 set.

“We are calling on the authorities concerned to fish out the assasins of our late colleague Garricks Anyanwu.

It is unfortunate that Lawyers have become danger spices in our society. Everyday, either a Lawyer is kidnapped and killed or assaulted by Police or assassinated. Enough is enough.”
