Policemen attached to the Edo State Criminal Investigations
Department (SCID), yesterday exhumed the decomposing body of an
associate professor at the Ambrose Alli University (AAU), Ekpoma, Dr
Paul Erie, in a thick forest. Erie, until his abduction about four
months ago, was a lecturer in the Department of Agricultural Economics
and Extension of the university.
The deceased was abducted by gunmen at
his Igbanke country home and taken to unknown destination, leaving the
distraught family members in agony since then.
His remains were exhumed yesterday by police detectives from the SCID
after the arrest of two gang members of the kidnap syndicate. The
suspects led the police to the forest where they killed and secretly
buried the lecturer.
The forest is located between Orhionmwon and Igueben local
governments. Until his abduction on June 16 and his death in the hands
of his abductors, Erie was a palace chief at Igbanke. It was learnt that
the police arrested about five suspects in connection with the crime,
including a member of the vigilance group in the community. The
vigilante is said to be the chief supplier of the seven-man kidnap gang
with bullets for their operations.
