According to Abdullahi, the late Fulani leader is set to rest in Bauchi State. He explained that the lifeless body was discovered in Dawaki, a community in Kanke, another local government area within the state.

Captain Oya James, the spokesperson for the state’s Operation Safe Haven, a security task force responsible for maintaining regional peace, has also verified this development.

It is noteworthy that on September 27, Lt.-Gen. Taoreed Lagbaja, the Chief of Army Staff, directed the personnel of OPSH to recover Mr Idris’s remains within a 24-hour.

Mr Idris had been declared missing on September 24 while reportedly returning from a visit to the district head of the area, Aminu Darwam.

The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Alfred Alabo, had stated last week that Commissioner of Police Okoro J. Alawari had instructed the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) in charge of the State Criminal Investigation Department (CID) to take immediate control of the case and conduct a discreet investigation.

He further emphasized that the police command had instituted comprehensive measures to unravel the mysteries surrounding the disappearance of the Ardo (Fulani leader). Those responsible for this heinous act will be pursued, apprehended, and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
