The Anambra State Police Command has launched a manhunt for the perpetrators of the abduction and murder of the Managing Director of Fish Magnet Outlet, Ifesinachi Onyekere. 


Onyekere was reportedly abducted from his residence in Ezinifite village, Okpuno, Awka, on July 27.


A statement issued on Wednesday in Awka by the command spokesman, Tochukwu Ikenga, revealed that the Joint Security Team, comprising Anambra Vigilance Operatives and the Police, recovered Onyekere's car on Ukwulu-Igbariam road.
