Details of the circumstances surrounding the recovery of his remains were still sketchy as at 9:30pm on Thursday.
Late Salem, who was covering the House of Representatives, was last seen on October 13, 2021.
After the close of work that day, he was said to have alighted from a cab at Total filling station, close to the Force Headquarters, and headed for B.J’s Garden in the company of a female relative.
Thereafter, he reportedly flagged a cab for the lady, who left before him, informing her that he was going to Area 8, Garki.
But he was never seen until his remains were recovered on Thursday.
