Witness Testifies In Court How Nigerian Army General Idris Alkali Met His Death In Plateau....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

In a recent court hearing, a retired Army Major General, Umaru Ibrahim Muhammed, took the stand as a witness and provided details about the brutal killing of General Idris Alkali. This incident occurred five years ago, and Major General Muhammed was assigned by the Nigerian Army to lead a search and rescue operation for General Alkali, who had gone missing.

During his testimony, Muhammed revealed that the gruesome murder of General Alkali took place in 2018 in Dura-Du village, Jos South local government of Plateau State. According to his account, the suspects responsible for the crime dismembered General Alkali’s body and buried him in a shallow grave.

He explained, “Late Gen Alkali left Abuja for Bauchi en route Jos in 2018, while on transit, he made the last call around Dura, Du village in Jos South. From that moment, his phone went off, and three days later, his family declared him missing on the 3rd of September 2018.”

Major General Muhammed, who was tasked with leading the search and rescue operation, described the extensive efforts made to locate General Alkali, his vehicle, and those responsible for his disappearance. The search included inspecting multiple mining ponds in the village, with a focus on a particular one, which resulted in some local resistance. However, the operation continued with the support of divers and fire service trucks.

The witness recounted the discovery of General Alkali’s Toyota Corolla in the pond, along with his uniform, shirt, shoe, and cap. The search extended to the point of finding other vehicles, including a bus and a Rover car, as well as various items submerged in the pond.

Major General Muhammed shared that a suspect eventually led the search team to a shallow grave where the culprits had initially buried General Alkali. Afterward, the body was moved to another location, referred to as “no man’s land.” The testimony indicated that the remains were eventually located in a village named Buchwet, situated 10 kilometers away from Dura-Du.

To confirm the identity of the recovered body, a renowned pathologist was consulted, and a thorough examination of the remains revealed that General Alkali had been brutally murdered. The pathologist uncovered evidence of the skull being sliced into two and various body parts being dismembered. The body’s x-ray matched the findings, confirming the identity.

The court also heard from the second witness, Major Arashinga Bulus, who is currently serving in the Nigerian Army in Abuja. He confirmed the arrest of 21 individuals in connection with the killing of General Alkali. The case has been adjourned to November 6th to hear additional witnesses.

BETRAYAL OF TRUST: Man Given Free Shelter Allegedly Sells Benefactor’s House And Scams Cleric Of ₦13.6 Million.

Published

on

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arraigned Yusuf Oyepeju before the Oyo State High Court sitting in Ibadan. Oyepeju appeared alongside two corporate entities—Alwajeez International Nigeria Limited and AIN Homes and Property Limited—to face a six-count charge encompassing forgery, document uttering, theft by conversion, and obtaining money under false pretenses.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

According to a statement released in Ibadan on Wednesday by EFCC’s Head of Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale, the case stems from a relationship that began on an Islamic WhatsApp educational platform where both Oyepeju and the victim, Fasasi Bayonle, served as tutors. Bayonle, an Islamic cleric based in Dubai, eventually fell victim to a severe betrayal of trust.

From Benefactor to Alleged Victim

Investigations revealed that the saga began in 2018 when Oyepeju approached Bayonle seeking financial assistance for accommodation after getting married. Rather than a cash handout, Bayonle permitted Oyepeju to temporarily move into his vacant property located at the Ikumapayi area of Olodo, Ibadan, before relocating to the UAE.

Authorities stated that Oyepeju, posing as a property developer, subsequently convinced Bayonle to fund land purchases and housing construction projects in Ibadan, transferring a total of ₦8,697,900 between February and August 2020. However, the arrangement turned sour when Oyepeju allegedly forged a “Transfer of Agreement,” sold the very house he was given to live in for free to companies linked to him, and converted the proceeds. Investigators also discovered that he never purchased or developed the promised land.

Court Proceedings and Remand

Appearing before Justice Olusola Adetujoye, Oyepeju pleaded not guilty to all charges. Following his plea, prosecuting counsel Sanusi Galadanchi requested a trial date and asked that the defendant be remanded. Meanwhile, defense counsel B. Ajibola informed the court that a bail application had already been filed and served.

Justice Adetujoye adjourned the proceedings for the hearing of the bail application and ordered that Oyepeju be remanded at the Agodi Correctional Centre, Ibadan, pending the next court date.
