Anxiety As Joseph Egbunike, DIG Investigating Abba Kyari Slumps, Dies

Joseph Egbunike, a Deputy Inspector General of Police in command of the Force Criminal Investigations Department, has died.

Egbunike died on Tuesday, according to sources, after collapsing in his workplace in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory.

The DIG, who was from Onitsha in Anambra State, was in charge of the Special Investigation Panel set up by the Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba, to look into the actions of Abba Kyari, the suspended head of the Police Intelligence Response Team, who was accused of money laundering.

While the incident’s circumstances are still vague, it was learned that Egbunike had gone to his doctor for a medical check-up after feeling ill.

The senior officer, who was claimed to have driven to work in the presence of family members, slumped and died a few minutes after being given medicines.
