An officer of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has been found dead at his residence in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital city.

The deceased, a member of Course 5, was known for his diligence, efficiency, and unassuming nature.

A source at the commission’s headquarters said, “The deceased was a diligent and efficient officer, known for his unassuming nature. His death has come as a shock to everyone at the EFCC.”

An investigation is currently underway to determine the circumstances surrounding the death, confirmed EFCC spokesperson Mr. Dele Oyewale.

When asked about the incident, Mr. Oyewale reiterated, “An investigation is currently underway to determine the circumstances surrounding the death.”

He added that the Commission is exploring possible factors, including mental health and family challenges, that may have contributed to the officer’s depression and tragic decision.

The EFCC has not released the officer’s name pending the conclusion of the investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death.
