Saturday Vanguard gathered that Abuul who went missing about two weeks ago in
Gboko was killed by his murderers who also dumped his remains in River
Katsina/Ala. According to a family source who craved anonymity, the deceased
two weeks ago went missing in Gboko after returning from Oju where he lectured
at the state owned College
of Education. Narrating
the story he said, “Goddy used to lecture at the College of Education
in Oju. He travels weekly from here in Gboko to Oju to lecture after which he
returns to Gboko to spend his weekend with his wife and two children.
“Unfortunately, two weeks ago he returned from Oju and said he was traveling to
Katsina/Ala on a private visit, that was the last we heard of him. “His
disappearance was reported to the Police who since then have been combing the
entire state in search of his whereabouts. “Luckily, just two days ago, the cloth
he wore the last day anybody saw him was found with a young man who was
immediately arrested by the Police in Gboko. “Upon interrogation the young man
confessed to the Police how the missing lecturer was allegedly killed by his
wife in connivance with her siblings. “His confession triggered the arrest of
several persons including the wife of the deceased and mother of his two
children and all those mentioned in the saga, by the Police in Gboko, though
the matter has been transferred to the Command Headquarters in Makurdi for
further investigations.” Continuing, the source said, “already his wife has
confessed all she knew about the matter to the Police. We learned that she
alleged that her brothers beat her husband up because he was involved in extra
marital affairs, but not with the intention to kill him. “After killing him,
they allegedly dumped his body in River Katsina/Ala and also went ahead to sell
his Honda car to an innocent buyer for the sum of N650,000 and of that sum, the
wife of the murdered lecturer was given the sum of N400, 000 as her share of
the proceed.” “As I speak with you, the Police and local divers are still
combing River Katsina/Ala to locate the remains of the Goddy (the deceased) but
we very much doubt if his remains would be seen because the fishes must have
feasted on it.” When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO,
Assistant Superintendent, ASP, Moses Yamu who confirmed the incident said he
was yet to get full details of the matter. Yamu said, “yes I know of the matter
but I’m yet to get the full details of the matter from the Divisional Police
Officer, DPO, because the suspects are yet to arrive Makurdi. At this moment I
cannot confirm that the wife of the deceased was behind his murder until the
details are made available to me.”
