The corpse of a slain policeman, Corporal Onu Adeyi, was on Sunday discovered in a well in Gboko Local Government Area of Benue state.
It was learnt that Adeyi was attached to Gboko (B) Division before he was murdered by the assailants who are still at large.
The policeman, popularly referred to as Baya Baya, was said to have been stabbed several times before being thrown inside the well in his compound.
Locals in the Tomatar area of Gboko where he was killed, told our correspondent in confidence that they were still living in agony as the incident had put them in fear.
One of them, who identified herself as Ngunan, disclosed that they all woke up on Sunday to discover that Baya Baya was killed on Saturday night and dumped inside the well in his compound.
Confirming the report, the Commissioner of Police, Mr. Hyacinth Dagala, told our correspondent over the telephone that the command was investigating the circumstances that led to the policeman’s death.
Dagala, however, said that his men had yet to make any arrest in the case just as he appealed for calm and vigilance.
