A
serving Army Colonel Samaila Inusa, who was reportedly abducted at gunpoint
at the Refinery Junction in Chikun Local Government of Kaduna State
was found dead on Tuesday.
The
Nigerian Army authority told newsmen in a statement that Inusa’s body was found
in Kaduna. He was suspected that he was killed the same day he was abducted.
According
to a statement signed by the Acting Director Army Public Relations, Col. Sani
Kukasheka Usman, “Preliminary investigation revealed that most likely the late
senior officer was killed the same day he was kidnapped by his abductors.
This
is because the body was found already decomposing around Ajyaita
village off Eastern Bypass Kaduna, Kaduna State.
“The
Nigerian Army wishes to regrettably inform the public that Colonel Samaila
Inusa who was kidnapped on Sunday, 27th of March 2016, was found dead
today (Tuesday) at about 6pm.
“Arrangements are
in progress to move the body to the 44 Nigerian Army Reference Hospital,
Kaduna. May His soul rest in peace, Amen.
“We
wish to state in unmistakable terms that whoever is behind his abduction and
murder would be fished out to face the full wrath of the law,” the statement
read.
The
late army officer was abducted in his Mercedes-Benz car by gunmen
suspected to be kidnappers around Kamazo, along Kaduna Refinery Road, in Chikun
Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
The
abductors dropped off Colonel Inusa’s wife and left with him heading towards
Abuja.
