Troops of the 34 Artillery Brigade, Owerri, operating under Operation UDO KA as part of Operation Eastern Sanity II, have uncovered a shallow grave and exhumed the remains of a missing community leader, Chief Ibe Anyadu, in Imo State.
The acting Deputy Director of Army Public Relations, 82 Division, Lt. Col. Olabisi Olalekan Ayeni, disclosed this in a statement issued on Monday.
According to the Army, Chief Anyadu, a community leader from Aggah in Ohaji/Egbema Local Government Area, was kidnapped and murdered by a criminal gang before being buried in a shallow grave in the Umudike Forest.
Ayeni said the discovery followed recent intelligence-led operations that resulted in the arrest of suspects linked to the killing of a Nigerian Army soldier and the recovery of stolen service weapons.
