Tordue Salem

The Vanguard Newspaper reporter, Tordue Salem, who went missing last month has been found dead on Thursday.

According to Vanguard Newspaper, the details of the recovery of his remains were sketchy as at the time of this report.

The Federal House of Representatives correspondent was last seen around Total filling station, close to the Force headquarters, Abuja.

An alarm was raised the day after he was last seen when his whereabouts became unknown.

One suspect, Prince Enyenihi, was arrested for attempting to extort the reporters family. He had sent a text message to Salem’s wife with a concealed number demanding N100 million as ransom.

The 25-year-old suspect message read in part, “If you don’t pay, Tordue will be killed in seven days. For more information, call this number.”

During interrogation, Enyenihi said he got Salem’s wife’s number from a flyer which declared him missing.
