Troops of the 34 Artillery Brigade have uncovered and exhumed the remains of a body suspected to be that of late Ibe Anyadu of Aggah Community in Imo State.
The troops operating under Operation UDO KA and through ongoing Operation EASTERN SANITY II, uncovered and exhumed the body on Sunday.
This is contained in a statement by Olabisi Ayeni, a lieutenant-colonel and acting deputy director, Army Public Relations, 82 Division, Nigerian Army, in Enugu, on Monday.
Mr Anyadu, a community leader, was allegedly murdered by suspected members of a criminal gang recently apprehended in connection with violent crimes in South-east.
According to Mr Ayeni, the development followed recent intelligence-driven operations that led to the arrest of suspects responsible for the killing of a Nigerian soldier and the recovery of stolen service weapons.
