Alh. Badamasi, the village head of Riruwai in Toro local government area, LGA, of Bauchi state, was abducted last Friday when gunmen stormed his village and also attacked his palace.
The abductors were said not to have contacted any of his family members for a ransom payment.
His lifeless body was later recovered by those who had embarked on the search for him in the bush around the village.
His corpse was then brought to the palace of the District Head of Lame in Gumau on Sunday for funeral prayers and subsequent burial in accordance with Islamic injunctions.
