fact that his family paid N2m for his release.

discovery at a town hall meeting in Oju, last Wednesday, said that the skeleton
of Adeyi was discovered three kilometers away from the road, adding that on
receiving the report from security operatives, he directed the police and medical
personnel to collect the skeleton of the deceased for postmortem. Ortom, who
fought back tears as he spoke, vowed to do everything possible to ensure that
the abductors and killers of the cleric were brought to justice.

State Police Command Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Assistant Superintendent,
ASP, Moses Yamu, who also confirmed the discovery of the decomposing remains of
the deceased at Otukpa by a team of police and medical personnel, said his
corpse had been deposited at a morgue.
