Speaking at a press conference in Abuja on Tuesday, Wilson Uwujaren, EFCC spokesperson, said the incident occurred on May 5, while the victim died on May 7 at Usmanu Danfodio University Teaching Hospital in Sokoto, where he was receiving treatment.
“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.”Uwujaren said the incident was the first of its kind, noting that the commission would ensure that the erring officers face justice. “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,” he said.“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.
