An Inspector of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Abel Isah Dickson, has died after a scuffle with two colleagues over items collected from a suspect.

The items include medications and some cash.

The two colleagues, Assistant Superintendent of EFCC, Apata Oluwaseun Odunayo and Inspector of EFCC, Ogbuji Titu Tochukwu, have also been arraigned in a court in Sokoto for culpable homicide.

But the Chairman of the commission, Abdulrasheed Bawa, said he will leave no stone unturned in ensuring that the erring officers are brought to justice.

The Head of Media and Publicity of EFCC, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, who confirmed the incident in a briefing in Abuja, said the affected officers have also been suspended.

He said: "We have invited you this morning to brief you about an unfortunate incident that happened at our Sokoto Zonal Command, which is suspected to have led to the death of one of our young officers, Inspector of the EFCC, Abel Isah Dickson.

" The officer passed away on May 7, 2023, at the Usmanu DanFodiyo University Teaching Hospital, Sokoto where he was receiving treatment for injuries he sustained, two days earlier, in a scuffle with two other staff: Assistant Superintendent of EFCC, Apata Oluwaseun Odunayo and Inspector of EFCC, Ogbuji Titu Tochukwu.

"They had disagreed over procedures for the custody of items belonging to a suspect in detention, leading to a fight, a conduct which the commission frowns at.

" The two officers with whom he had a disagreement have been suspended by the commission and handed over to the Nigeria Police for further investigation and possible prosecution.

" The latest information, is that a two-count holding charge bordering on criminal conspiracy and culpable homicide has been filed against them at a Chief Magistrate Court, Gwiwa in Sokoto.

" Both offences are punishable under Sections 60 and 191 of the Sokoto State Penal Code Law, 2019.

" Without prejudice to the Police investigation, they will in addition, face further disciplinary measures in line with the Commission’s staff regulation."
Uwujaren said the Executive Chairman of EFCC, Abdulrasheed Bawa has vowed not to tolerate any act of indiscipline.

"The Executive Chairman, Abdulrasheed Bawa is saddened by the incident, and has extended his heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family.

" He has, in addition, assured that the commission will leave no stone unturned in ensuring that those implicated in the death of the officer are brought to justice.

" He equally warned staff of the commission to ensure that their conduct at all times is moderated by the established code of behaviour as no act of indiscipline would be tolerated.

" Meanwhile, the remains of the late officer were interred on Saturday May 13, 2023 in Jos, Plateau State."

Asked if the scuffle was about a suspect's loot, Uwujaren, added: "The items were medications and some monies deposited in the suspect's locker. It has nothing to do with any loot."

EFCC cadets undergoing training fighting over criminal contents seized from a suspect? One of them must be related or had shaddy dealings with the suspect. Nigeria is really a land of the absurd.

Scuffling gone wrong.

This is to say judgment will not only begin on judgment day , but even now many are been judge and will yet be judged again.

That is why you should know Jesus before you die .

Is it the Nigerian media doing its thing?

News earlier got out that he was beaten to death by his colleagues for not playing balls.

Is this new development really what happened, or is it an attempt to dress him in similar clothes, to paint him similarly black hence watering down his death?

One never knows.
Naija gidi gan.

The story was not told as it should be

News outlets make sensational headlines for attention.

Looting the loots

Lol, very funny lots.

Thieves. Killing themselves over another person's property. This is how the EFCC delivers judgement to politicians who steal the wealth of Nigerians, they fight among themselves to steal the corrupted items and properties

Can you imagine those that are supposed to fight corruption and theft are now embroiled in corruption and theft!
God save Nigeria!
The following public servants should be fired in the first 24 hours of Tinubu administration:
1. Emefiele Godless;
2. Bawa the slave of the looters;
3. Kyari of NNPC Ltd;
4. Ojukwu of human rights commission;
5. MD security minting and printing;
6. Immigration CG, the corruption here is something else;
7. All public officials who are due for retirement and bought their ways to get tenure extension;
8. Add yours
