The abducted former Accountant-General of Bauchi State, Alhaji Bappa Tilde, has been killed by his unknown abductors.
The 72-year-old Tilde was abducted last Saturday, at Nuru Quarters in Bauchi, while returning home from the mosque, where he observed his night prayers.
Both security and family sources confirmed the death of the septuagenarian to journalists, on Thursday, in Bauchi, though both could not agree on the intention of the abduction over the deceased.
A family source said the abductors did not demand for anything after he was kidnapped last Saturday.
Residents of the area said his abductors brought him close to Eid praying ground on a motorcycle and shot him three times on his head andabandoned his corpse and fled.
Meanwhile, the funeral prayer of the late Tilde took place yesterday. The prayer was led by the Emir of Bauchi, Alhaji Rilwanu Suleiman Adamus and the chief Imam of Bauchi Alhaji Bala Ahmed.
Alhaji Tilde is survived by three wives, 27 children and over 100 grandchildren.
