EFCC Operative Dies Of Suspected Suicide, Police Await Autopsy

Following the death of an operative of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Williams Oyibogare, the Edo State Police Command has begun an investigation to unravel the cause of his demise.

The deceased, who lived at the Giwa Amu area along airport road according to Punch, was suspected to have committed suicide even though investigations have not been concluded, because two bottles of sniper pesticide were found in his home as well as a suicide note found on his phone which the police have already recovered.

The Police Public Relations Officer, Edo Command, Chidi Nwabuzor, said the police would wait for the autopsy before making further comment on the matter.

Nwabuzor said, “Investigations are ongoing and it would be too soon to make any conclusions at this stage; it is too early to make any pronouncements. Of course, there will be an autopsy to know the cause of death and inquire about what happened.”

According to the EFCC Spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren while confirming Oyibogare’s death, the commission was waiting for the police to conclude its investigation before making any further comment.

 “It is true that one of our operatives died. The police have begun an investigation into the matter and we hope to hear from them soon. That is all we can say for now,” Uwujaren said.
