The remains of a cashier, Joseph Myaan, who was kidnapped in Katsina-Ala Local Government Council of Benue State, have been discovered in a shallow grave.

We gathered that the body was found on Wednesday, January 6, in the Akpera area of Tongov community in Katsina-Ala.

The deceased, who worked in the Revenue Department of the Katsina-Ala LG, was kidnapped over a month ago.

His family reportedly paid an undisclosed sum as a ransom to the kidnappers to secure his release but they still killed him.

The remains of Myaan had been deposited in the Katsina-Ala General Hospital morgue.
