The Adamawa State Police Command has launched an investigation into the suspected murder of a repentant Boko Haram member, whose decomposing body was discovered in a bush in Madagali Local Government Area.
It was gathered that a family of the victim reported that his 20-year-old grandson, Musa Manu, had been missing for several days.
“On March 26, a dog emerged from the bush in Mildo, Madagali, carrying a decomposing human hand.
“Curious residents traced the dog’s path and discovered a decomposing body wrapped in a polythene bag.
“The grandfather identified the body as his grandson’s after recognizing his shoes, clothes, and mobile phone at the scene,”the sources said.
He alleged that Musa Manu, who worked as a commercial motorcycle rider, may have been killed by unknown assailants who stole his motorcycle.
Police visited the scene, and with the permission of the deceased’s family, the body was buried.
Meanwhile, the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has been assigned to conduct a discreet investigation to uncover the circumstances surrounding his death.
