Two of the four later returned to the state command on Sunday and were said to be in a sound state.
However, in a statement on Monday, Yamu announced the discovery of the corpse of one of the missing officers.
“The command regret to announce the death of one of its NCO, who was one of the two (2) remaining missing policemen in the attack of 9/2/2018.
“He was found brutally slaughtered, with both eyes and ears as well as nose removed. We pray that God Almighty grants him eternal rest.”
