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.”
