According to a statement signed by
the Acting Director Army Public Relations, Col. Sani Kukasheka Usman,
“Preliminary investigation revealed that most likely the late senior officer
was killed the 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 Nigerian Army wishes to
regrettably inform the public that Colonel Samaila Inusa who was kidnapped on
Sunday, 27th of March 2016, was found dead today (Tuesday) at about 6pm.
“Arrangements are in progress
to move the body to the 44 Nigerian Army Reference Hospital, Kaduna. May His
soul rest in peace, Amen.
“We wish to state in unmistakable
terms that whoever is behind his abduction and murder would be fished out to
face the full wrath of the law,” the statement read.
The late army officer was
abducted in his Mercedes-Benz car by gunmen suspected to be kidnappers around
Kamazo, along Kaduna Refinery Road, in Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna
State.
The abductors dropped off Colonel
Inusa’s wife and left with him heading towards Abuja.
