Police sources told Punch that his body was found in a forest on Ubiaja-Ewohimi-Agbor road by a police tactical team who was in pursuit of the kidnappers.

The sources added that the victim was killed because the kidnappers discovered him to be a policeman through his police identification card and pictures on his mobile phone.
