A PUZZLING DEATH : UNDP Coordinator in Sokoto found dead in country home In Sokoto State ... May His Soul RIP.

The Sokoto State Coordinator of the United Nations Development Programme, Alhaji Abubakar Sadiq, has been found dead in his hometown, Yabo, in Yabo Local Government Area of the state.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Sadiq was said to have been missing since October 9.
The late UNDP boss was also until his death the Chairman of the recently-inaugurated Sokoto State Project Monitoring and Verification Committee.
Sadiq was also a father-in- law to the state Commissioner for Local Governments and Community Development, Alhaji Faruk Malami.
NAN further gathered that the deceased was living with his family in his Sokoto city home.
He was, however, said to visit his house in Yabo about three times a week to see his relatives.
One of his sons-in-law, who sought anonymity, told NAN: “He has specific days of coming here.
“He can come at any time, stay at his house alone, most times reciting the Holy Qur’an.”
His elder brother, Alhaji Muhammadu Muntari, also said that the wife of the deceased had called them in the early hours of Thursday hinting that her husband was missing.
Muntari said: “His wife called me in the early hours of yesterday (October 10) that Sadiq did not sleep at home, which was very unusual, and that he could not be reached on his phones as they were all switched off.
“I and some of our relatives left for Sokoto to join the in the search only to receive another call that his car was sighted, parked outside his Yabo residence.
“When we got there, we met all the doors of the house opened only to find his dead body arranged on one of the cushions.
“We saw some black spots around his neck and bruises all over his face, suggesting that he was beaten before been strangled.”
Muntari said they could not understand the cause of his death.
He said: “Apart from his phones, nothing was removed from the house.
“We have left everything in the hands of God the Almighty.”
One of the sons of the deceased, Sadiq, said that he spoke with his father about a week ago.
Sadiq said: “My father was humble and very religious.
“He always encouraged us to follow his footsteps.
“My last words with him was about a week ago, then I was away from Sokoto when he called to find out about my condition.”
The spokesman for the state police command, DSP Al-Mustapha Sani, confirmed the story to NAN in Sokoto on Friday.
Sani said the command had since dispatched a team of crack detectives and investigators to the scene.
“The Police will intensify investigations to unravel the mystery behind the death,” he said.
