A Deputy Inspector General of Police in-charge of the Force Criminal Investigations Department, Joseph Egbunike, is dead.
Egbunike who hails from Onitsha, Anambra State, reportedly slumped and died in his office in Abuja in the late hours of Tuesday.
He was said to be feeling uncomfortable during the weekend and on Tuesday decided to see the Doctor for a medical check-up after which he was given medications and asked to return home.
Minutes later the senior officer who was said to have driven to the office in the company of family was in high spirits. He slumped and died a few minutes later.
