Police declare 13 wanted over killing of general

The police command in Plateau state has declared 13 people wanted over the killing of Idris Alkali, a retired major-general.

In September, Alkali was declared missing after he embarked on a trip to Bauchi but never reached his destination.

Later that same month, his car was found in a pond in Dura-Du community of Jos South local government area.

After an extensive search, the major-general’s body was found in an abandoned well in October. He was buried in Abuja on November 3.

In a statement on Thursday, Terna Tyopev, spokesman of the Plateau command, said 12 of the suspects hail from Dwei village in Du District while one is from Gushet-Shen village.

He said the two villages are located in Jos South.
