An unnamed operative of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) committed suicide on Monday at his residence in Abuja.
According to a news dissemination platform, PRNigeria, it was gathered that the deceased, a member of Course 5, was a diligent, efficient, and unassuming officer of the anti-graft agency.
The Commission is exploring possible factors, including mental health and family challenges, that may have contributed to the operative’s depression and eventual tragic decision.
When contacted on the incident, the EFCC spokesperson, Mr. Dele Oyewale, told PRNigeria that an investigation was already underway to determine the circumstances surrounding the operative’s action.
The EFCC has, however, not released the operative’s name pending the conclusion of the investigation.
This incident has sent shockwaves through the organisation, as details will be provided as more information becomes available.
