MISSING GENERAL: Wanted district head, two others surrender to police

Barely 24 hours after they were declared wanted, three suspects in the disappearance of retired Army General, Idris Alkali, have voluntarily surrendered to the Police.

The District Head of Dura-Du in Jos South Local Government of Plateau State, Yakubu Rapp, Youth Leader of the community, Matthew Rwang and a tipper driver, Timothy Chuwang surrendered to the state police command on Friday.

A source, who is close to the development, said the other suspects were also ready to surrender themselves but had to wait to see how the Police will treat those who have surrendered.

“The three suspects voluntarily surrendered themselves to the police. If the police detain them, it will be difficult to get the others. But if they are granted bail, be assured that they will all appear before the police by next week,” the source said.

Their lawyer, Godfree said the community was ready to cooperate with the police in their investigation.
