Missing army's body finally found

The mystery surrounding the disappearance of the former Chief of Administration, Army Headquarters, Abuja,
Major General Idris Alkali, was yesterday unravelled as the Nigerian Army recovered his body from an abandoned well in Guchwet, Jos South Local Government Area of Plateau State.

Alkali was declared missing on his way to Bauchi after leaving Abuja in the morning of September 3, and Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai, set up an operation to search for him.

Army said after a thorough investigation, they narrowed their search to a mining pond in Dura-Du in Jos South Local Government.

After two weeks of draining the pond, the car of the missing general and two other cars were recovered. Also, a Toyota bus was fished out of the pond.

On Friday, General Officer Commanding, 3 Division, Rukuba Barracks, B. A. Akinruluyo, 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 was buried in a place known as No Man’s Land in Dura-Du community in Plateau.

He said those behind the act later exhumed the corpse.
