Tragedy has hit the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), after an Inspector with the Agency, Abel Isah Dickson, died after a scuffle with two colleagues over items collected from a suspect. The items include medications and some cash. He was said to have disagreed with his colleagues over procedures for the custody of items belonging to a suspect in detention, leading to a fight.

The officer reportedly 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.

The two colleagues, Assistant Superintendent of EFCC, Apata Oluwaseun Odunayo and Inspector of EFCC, Ogbuji Titus 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 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.
