THE Plateau State Police Command says it will soon commence the prosecution of the individuals that allegedly killed a retired Army General Idris Alkali.

Terna Tyopev, the Public Relations Officer of the command, said this on Sunday when 19 suspects that were arrested in connection with the crime were paraded in Jos, the Plateau State capital, on Sunday.

Tyopev said 13 of the suspects were arrested by the army and handed over to the police, while the six had turned themselves in after they were declared wanted. Two others are said to still be at large.

The suspects are as follows: Pam Chuwang Kim (32), Pam Chuwang Dung (19), Michael James (22), Dung Pam (26), John Alkali (21), Rebecca Gyang Pam, (35), Yohanna Dung (61), Stanley Onuchukwu (34), Nenfa Jwanan (22), Michael Peter, Maxwell Dadel, Simon Sule (27), and Paul Bot Gyangzee (52)

The six others who turned themselves in are Stephen Chuwang, Timothy Chuwang, Mathew Chuwang Rwang, Yakubu Rapp, Pam Gyang Duns, and Moses Gyang.

The name of the principal suspect was given as Da Chuwang, also known as Mourinho, and he is still at large.

Tyopev said the suspects will be charged to court once investigations were completed.

Retired General Idris Alkali was reported missing on September 6. He had left Abuja to Bauchi on September 3 but was murdered in Jos by a group of youths who buried his body in a shallow grave, drove his car into a mining pond, and made away with his valuables. The youths would later exhume Alkali’s corpse and dumped it in a dry well.

After weeks of searching, the army recovered Alkali’s car from the pond and later traced the grave where his body was initially buried. Further investigations led the search party to retrieve the retired General’s body from the well where he was dumped.

Alkali was buried at the Gudu Cemetry in the Federal Capital Territory on Saturday, November 3.
