The Special Military Taskforce, Operation Safe Haven (OPSH), has recovered the corpse of Ardo Adamu Gabdo, murdered in Panyam in the Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau.
Capt. James Oya, the media officer of OPSH, disclosed this at a news conference on Thursday in Jos, the state capital.
Suspected criminals killed Mr Gabdo in the Panyam community on September 24 in Panyam.
Mr Oya, who said the body was recovered on Thursday, added that it followed a thorough search by its personnel.
”Based on credible intelligence from well-meaning locals, the remains of the missing Fulani leader have been discovered and recovered for burial,” he stated.
Mr Oya said the body was recovered around Boi, along Pankshin – Bauchi Road in Tafawa Balewa Local Government Area of Bauchi State.
”This breakthrough was made possible through the continued community engagements employed by OPSH,” he said.
The media officer maintained that the recovery marked a significant move in its efforts to address insecurity in the state and other areas of its operation.
Mr Oya promised that OPSH and other security agencies would ensure all those involved in the heinous crime would be arrested and brought to justice.
”OPSH will continue to work tirelessly and stop at nothing to bring the perpetrators of all evil acts to justice and ensure the security of lives and property on the Plateau in particular and our entire Joint Operations Area,” Mr Oya said.
The commander of OPSH, Maj.-Gen. Abdusalam Abubakar urged the general public to remain vigilant, cooperate with security agencies and provide relevant information that could assist in the ongoing investigations.
