EFCC OFFICER SLUMPS TO DEATH IN LAGOS
An unidentified officer of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) attached to the Lagos Division has been found dead in an undisclosed part of Lagos State.
A video circulating online on Monday revealed the incident, showing the lifeless body of the officer, who was not in uniform, surrounded by sympathisers, including police officers.
The officers searched the deceased’s bag and identified him as an EFCC operative through his identity card.
A voice in the video confirmed, “He works with EFCC. His ID card is with him.”
EFCC spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, confirmed the incident and disclosed that the commission is investigating the cause of the officer’s death.
“Yes, the man is our officer. His death is being investigated. The incident happened on Sunday,” Oyewale said.
This comes weeks after another troubling incident involving the anti-graft agency. On January 15, an EFCC officer, Assistant Superintendent Aminu Salisu, was shot dead by a suspected internet fraudster, Joshua Ikechukwu, during a raid in Onitsha, Anambra State.
