The Nigerian Army on Friday claimed that it had uncovered a shallow grave where suspected hoodlums had initially buried the corpse of its former Chief of Administration, Maj . Gen . Mohammed Idris Alkali ( retd ) .

The shallow grave, the Army said , was in ‘ No Man ’ s Land , ’ and had been identified by four different suspects at different times of arrest.

The General Officer Commanding 3 Armoured Division in Rukuba Barracks , Maj . Gen . Benson Akinroluyo , at a press conference , claimed that the suspects took troops on the search- and- rescue operation to the spot where the corpse of the missing officer was allegedly exhumed and reburied in a yet -to - be-identified place .

According to him , perpetrators of the act shared the belongings of the missing officer after he was abducted .

Alkali , who was said to have disappeared in questionable circumstances, was said to have retired a few weeks before he was declared missing on Monday , September 3, 2018, a day after gunmen swooped on Dura-Du District and killed about 13 persons .
