Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that barely 24 hours after being declared wanted by the police over the disappearance of General Alkali (retd), three suspects on Friday, October 26, voluntarily surrendered themselves to the Plateau state police command in Jos.
A source said the other suspects were also ready to surrender themselves but were waiting to see how the persons who already surrendered to the police would be treated.
“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 stated.
