Decomposed body of kidnapped Otukpo catholic priest, Rev Fr John Adenyi, found

THE body of the abducted catholic priest Rev Fr John Adenyi, Vicar General of Otukpo Catholic Diocese, has been found dead by police in a bush few kilometres away from main road.
The Vicar General was abducted on April 24 by unknown persons along Otukpa - Enugu road while returning to Otukpo his base after a church service in Otukpa area of Ogbadibo local government.
Sources said that the decomposed body of the priest was found at Odoba in Otukpa area of Ogbadibo local government of the state, saying, “What was seen was cassock and sander on the skeleton which suggest that it was the remains of the kidnapped priest.”
Police spokesman, ASP Moses Yamu, told newsmen that police, on receiving information about the decomposed body found in the bush near the area the priest was abducted, condoned the place, adding that until the forensic anthropology is conducted before they can give useful information.
However, the state governor confirmed the discovery of the decomposed body of the catholic priest yesterday during the town-hall meeting he held with Igede people at the College of Education, Oju, auditorium as part of his ongoing stakeholders meeting.
He stated that the Rev. Father's skeleton was discovered on Tuesday in Otukpa, three kilometers away from the road and added that he has directed the police and medical personnel to collect the skeleton for post-mortem.
Paying respect to the soul of the departed priest, the governor asked the people to observe a minute silence for the repose of the soul of Adenyi, he however vowed that the abductors and killers of Father Adenyi must be brought to book.
It will be recalled that family members of the catholic priest had paid the N2million ransom agreed by the suspected kidnappers three days after he was kidnapped only for the suspects to switch of all contacts.
After fruitless efforts at rescuing the priest, the state governor had few weeks ago announced N5m reward for information about the discovery of the priest.
Reacting to the report, secretary general of Opiatoha Idoma, Mr Adoka Adaji said, “it is unfortunate that there is no security in Idomaland, otherwise, the kidnappers of late Rev Fr Adenyi would have been exposed, the Idoma people are no longer their brothers' keeper.”
