The Niger-Delta Development Commission, NDDC has discarded reports that the Acting Executive Director, Finance, Ibanga Bassey Etang died of COVID-19. There were speculations that Etang died of COVID-19 related issues following NDDC's leaked memo NDDC\/HQ\/HAHR\/3 directing staff and workers to self-isolate for two weeks. But Charles Odili, Director of Corporate Affairs, NDDC, in a statement
The Niger-Delta Development Commission, NDDC has discarded reports that the Acting Executive Director, Finance, Ibanga Bassey Etang died of COVID-19.
Recall that the Acting Executive Director died in a controversial circumstance as some have alleged he was poisoned. The Commission, therefore, emphasized that any report concerning the passing of the Acting EDFA remains untrue until the result of the autopsy is out. It, however, said that it was out of caution that it asked its staff to vacate offices in case it turns out to be COVID-19-related death. “In line with fears of the current time, the Commission took the precautionary measure of temporarily shutting down its headquarters for two weeks. Staff were also asked to self-isolate. This action does not presuppose the cause of death.
“The Commission is on course to issuing a comprehensive fact-based statement in consonance with the bereaved family, but for the unwarranted and unsubstantiated reportage which is flying in devilish propensities.
