The remains of Muhammed Alkali, the retired army general, who
was declared missing on September 3, have been found in an
abandoned well in Plateau state.
A source disclosed this to our reporter on Wednesday afternoon,
saying the military authorities would soon issue a statement on
it.
On Friday, B. A. Akinruluyo, general officer commanding, 3
division, Rukuba barracks, had said soldiers located a grave where
Alkali was initially buried.
Akinruluyo said some of the suspects arrested in connection with
the incident confessed that the body of the deceased was buried in
a place known as “No Man’s Land” Dura-Du community in Plateau.
He said those behind the dastardly act later exhumed the corpse
and took it to an unknown place.
Alkali was the immediate past chief of administration of the
Nigerian Army. He was declared missing when he was traveling from
Abuja to Bauchi state.
The deceased had just retired from the army after 35 years.
