The decomposing body of kidnapped Army Colonel, Samaila Inusa was discovered by three children who had gone to pluck cashew fruits at a bush in Ajyaita Village in Kakau District of Chikun LGA of Kaduna State, some ten kilometers away from Kaduna city center on Tuesday.
The frightened kids quickly ran to a local farmer who they had earlier met planting yam seedlings.
The farmer on confirming the disturbing sight immediately alerted the village head who in turn contacted the police.
After inspecting the scene, the police called in the Army authorities who confirmed that the body was indeed the remains of Col Samaila Inusa who was abducted by unknown gunmen some days earlier.
“The Army came with photographs and confirmed that he was the one. There was no identity card found on him, but the Army identified him as the missing Colonel," said a source.
The remains of the murdered Col Inusa were buried on Wednesday at the Ribadu Cantonment, Old Nigerian Defence Academy, NDA cemetery according to Islamic rites.
The Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen Tukur Buratai who was represented at the burial by the Chief Administrative Officer of the Nigerian Army, Major General Ado Abubakar vowed to bring Col Inusa's killers to justice.
“Col. Inusa was a great soldier. We all feel the pains. Though death is inevitable and nobody can run away from it. I came in to represent my boss, the Chief of Army Staff because the Nigerian Army is mourning one of us that had really served this country greatly and we are not really happy the way he died, but whatever happened, we will see to the end of it all."
