Tordue Salem, a journalist with the Vanguard newspapers who has been missing for close to a month, has been found dead in Abuja.
Salem was found dead on Thursday and details of his death are sketchy, according to Vanguard.
Salem, who was a House of Representatives correspondent, was declared missing on October 13.
The newspaper said one Prince Enyenihi aged 25, has been arrested for attempting to extort the reporter’s family.
It was learnt that the suspect reportedly sent text messages to Salem’s wife with a concealed number, demanding N100 million in ransom payment.
The news of the reporter’s death comes about two days after the green chamber passed a resolution mandating all the security agencies to immediately investigate the whereabouts of the missing journalist.
