The incident was reported to the police while the family was looking for the Imam, he claims.
“We dispersed into the bush around Gado-Nasko farm from 8 p.m. to 12 a.m., but we couldn’t find him, apart from his clothes, a wheel truck he used, his axe, and the firewood,” he said.
“We conducted another round of search around the same location yesterday morning, and we were about to give up when one of us suggested that we extend the search to an unfinished building.
“We found his body with injuries on his head, as if he had been struck by some of the firewood found nearby.”
