According to report, Erukaa, 80, was abducted from his home in Zakibiam, Ukum LGA, on September 23, 2023.
A family source who confirmed the news, said the kidnappers had communicated Erukaa’s passing to his family, and said they have since buried him.

As of the time of filing this report, the police spokesperson, SP Catherine Anene, has not responded to calls to confirm the development.
