The decomposing body of Godwin
Abuul, the lecturer in the Theatre Arts
Department of the College of Education, Oju,
Benue State, who was allegedly murdered by his
wife, name withheld, in connivance with her
siblings over alleged extra-marital affairs, has
been recovered from River Katsina-Ala by police.
Smart360news had exclusively reported that Abuul,
who went missing about two weeks ago in Gboko
after returning from Oju, where he lectured at
the state-owned institution, was killed and
dumped in River Katsina-Ala.
In the course of investigations, police in Gboko
arrested a young man with the cloth the lecturer
wore the last day he was seen and on
interrogation, the suspect confessed that the
deceased was allegedly killed by his wife in
connivance with her siblings, who also sold his
car and shared the proceeds.
The mother of two was immediately arrested
alongside her siblings and others mentioned in
the saga. The matter had been transferred to the
Command Headquarters in Makurdi for further
investigation.
A family source, who spoke yesterday on
condition of anonymity, told Vanguard in
Makurdi that the decomposed body of the
former Head of Theatre Arts Department, COE,
Oju, was found stuck to the trunk of a small tree
in River Katsina-Ala.
Family members’ story
According to him, “after the revelation by his
killers that he was dumped in the river two
weeks ago, a search party comprising the police,
family members and local divers Saturday
evening discovered the badly decomposed body
in the river.
“What was left of him was hanging on a small
plant in the river. Fishes had feasted on him.
“Those responsible for his death pretended all
along and even claimed that he might have been
kidnapped.
“We took the remains to Makurdi on the orders
of the Police, where an autopsy has been
conducted and we are burying him immediately
because the corpse is in a bad state.”
When contacted, the state Police Public Relations
Officer, Assistant Superintendent Moses Yamu,
said he was yet to receive the latest briefs on
matter.
