The statement said: “In what appears to be a case of culpable homicide, the deceased was found in a bedroom in his residence in Malali, Kaduna North Local Government Area, apparently after having been strangled with a rope.
“A vehicle was stolen from his parking lot by the assailants.”
The Kaduna State Police Command’s Public Relations officer, ASP Mohammed Jalige, confirmed the incident.
The remains of the pilot were buried on Sunday evening at Unguwan Sarki Cemetery, Kaduna.
