BREAKING: Army Uncovers Spot Where Corpse of Missing General Was Buried, Exhumed
By Paul Mbagwu
The grave of Nigerian Former Chief of Administration, Maj. Gen. Mohammed Idris Alkali (retd) on Friday has been uncovered by the Nigerian Army.
The shallow grave, where suspected hoodlums had initially buried the corpse, the Army said, was in ‘Noman’s Land’, and had been identified by four different suspects at different times of arrest.
The General Officer Commanding 3 Armoured Division in Rukuba Barracks, Maj. Gen. Benson Akinroluyo, at a press conference, claimed that the suspects took troops on the Search and Rescue operation to the spot where the corpse of the missing officer was allegedly exhumed and reburied in a yet to be identified place.
According to him, perpetrators of the act shared the belongings of the missing officer after he was whisked away.
Mohammed Alkali was said to have retired a few weeks before he was declared missing on Monday, September 3 2018, a day after gunmen swooped on Dura-Du and killed about 13 persons.
About three cars were said to have been recovered from a mining pond in Dura – Du District during a cordon and search operation conducted by a team of soldiers led by the Garrison Commander of 3 Armour Division, Brig. Gen. Umar Mohammed.
It was also reported that many civil rights organisations have condemned the militarisation of Jos metropolis and other communities by soldiers and arrest of persons in public places over the disappearance of Alkali.
