“Goddy used to lecture at the College of Education in Oju.
“He travels weekly from
here in Gboko to Oju to lecture after which he returns to Gboko to spend his
weekend with his wife and two children.
“Unfortunately, two weeks
ago he returned from Oju and said he was traveling to Katsina/Ala on a private
visit, that was the last we heard of him.
“His disappearance was reported to the Police
who since then have been combing the entire state in search of his whereabouts.
“Luckily, just two days ago, the cloth he wore
the last day anybody saw him was found with a young man who was immediately
arrested by the Police in Gboko.
“Upon interrogation the young man confessed to
the Police how the missing lecturer was allegedly killed by his wife in
connivance with her siblings.
“His confession triggered the arrest of
several persons including the wife of the deceased and mother of his two
children and all those mentioned in the saga, by the Police in Gboko, though
the matter has been transferred to the Command Headquarters in Makurdi for
further investigations.

about the matter to the Police.
“We learned that she
alleged that her brothers beat her husband up because he was involved in extra
marital affairs, but not with the intention to kill him.
“After killing him, they
allegedly dumped his body in River Katsina/Ala and also went ahead to sell his
Honda car to an innocent buyer for the sum of N650,000 and of that sum, the
wife of the murdered lecturer was given the sum of N400, 000 as her share of
the proceed.”
“As I speak with you, the
Police and local divers are still combing River Katsina/Ala to locate the
remains of the Goddy (the deceased) but we very much doubt if his remains would
be seen because the fishes must have feasted on it.

confirm that the wife of the deceased was behind his murder until the details
are made available to me
