An Inspector of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Abel Isah Dickson, has died following a scuffle with two colleagues over items recovered from a suspect.

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 also been suspended.

According to reports, the items include medications and some cash.

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