Following the recovery of the murdered decomposing body of the Nigerian Army Colonel, Samaila Inusa, who was abducted on Sunday in Kaduna, army authorities have vowed to fish out the perpetrators of the dastardly act.
The Army made this known in a statement released on Tuesday evening by Acting Director of Army Public Relations, Sani Usman.
The Army spokesperson stated that Colonel Inusa’s body was found at about 6pm on Tuesday.
“The Nigerian Army wishes to regrettably inform the public that Colonel Samaila Inusa who was kidnapped on Sunday 27th March 2016, was found dead today at about 6.00pm.”
“Preliminary investigation revealed that most likely the late senior officer was killed 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.”
“Arrangements are in progress to move the body to 44 Nigerian Army Reference Hospital, Kaduna. May His soul rest in peace, Amen. We wish to state in unmistakeable terms that whoever is behind his abduction and murder would be fished out to face the full wrath of the law.”
As a Lieutenant Colonel, Samaila Inusa was the Commander 81 Battalion located in Bulabulin, Damboa Local Government Area of Borno State. He was later promoted to the rank of Colonel in December 2015 and transferred to Armed Forces and Command Staff College Jaji, where he was serving until his abduction on Sunday March 27th.
