Ex-Delta State lawmaker and Commissioner, Joan Mrakpor Joan Onyemaechi AKA Ada Anioma
The gunmen who forcefully abducted a former member representing Aniocha/Oshimili Federal constituency in the federal house of representatives and a former Delta State lawmaker and Commissioner, Joan Mrakpor [Joan Onyemaechi AKA Ada Anioma], have murdered her and dumped her body around the Onitsha end of the Niger Bridge.
A source with knowledge of the development who asked not to be identified said her remains were found with heavy bruises, suggesting she was brutalised and tortured before her death. “She was found dead and fully stripped with severe wounds around 7.30 pm Thursday. I think she was battered to death,” the source told THEWILL.
The politician was kidnapped two days ago in Asaba, the Delta State capital by the gunmen. (THEWILL)
