TARABA: Corpse of Ardo-Kola LG Chairman found hours after abduction

THE corpse of the Chairman of Ardo-Kola Local Government, Hon. Salihu Dovo, has been found.

Dovo’s corpse was found six hours after he was abducted by gunmen at his Jalingo residence in the early hours of today.

It was gathered that the kidnappers called an official of the Local Government to announce the killing of the Dovo.

“They called an official of the council to go and search for the Chairman’s corpse in the bush.

“Immediately, members of the community went into the bush and started looking for his body which was found close to the river,” a source was quoted to have said.

Taraba Police Public Relations Officer, ASP David Misal, who confirmed the killing of the Council Chairman said the armed men had stormed the residence of the local government Chairman at Sabon Gari area of the state capital around 1:00 am on Sunday and took him away.

Misal said though the gunmen dragged the Council Chairman out of his residence, his whereabouts was not known for hours.

He added that later the kidnappers called to inform the family that they had killed him notifying his people that they would find his corpse at river Lamurde.

The PPRO noted that Dovo’s body was eventually found in the bush around river Lamurde.

Misal, who said a search team was dispatched, and the body later found, however, could not confirm whether it was a case of assassination or kidnapping.

The PPRO also informed that the corpse of the Council Chairman has been deposited at the morgue of the Federal Medical Centre in Jalingo.
