Troops of the Nigerian Army’s 34 Artillery Brigade, under Operation Udoka and the ongoing Operation Eastern Sanity II, have recovered and conducted a dignified exhumation of the remains of a community leader, Chief Ibe Anyadu, allegedly murdered by members of a criminal gang in Imo State.
The Army said the recovery followed intelligence-driven operations that led to the arrest of suspects linked to violent crimes in the region, including the killing of a Nigerian Army soldier and the recovery of stolen service weapons.
Acting Deputy Director, Army Public Relations, 34 Artillery Brigade, Lieutenant Colonel Olabisi Ayeni, disclosed this in a statement on Monday.
According to him, one of the arrested suspects confessed to involvement in the murder of Chief Anyadu and volunteered to lead troops to the location where the remains were buried.
