In a press statement issued by the acting director, Army Public Relations, Colonel Sani Kukasheka Usman, the Army said the deceased was probably killed on the same day he was abducted.
The statement read, “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 6pm.
“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.”
The statement added that the body of the late colonel will be transferred to 44 Nigerian Army Reference Hospital, Kaduna.
The Army has vowed to uncover those behind the crime and make them pay for it.
“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,” it said.
There was no demand for any ransom after he was abducted.
Then 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, before he met his untimely death.
May his soul rest in peace.
