Remedy Yange, a member of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) from Benue State, was discovered dead on a Lagos street.
A video circulating on social media depicts Yange’s motionless body by the highway, with people attempting to determine his identity.
It was learned that his name and place of employment were located on his identity card (ID card), which was recovered in a bag beside his body.
The late operative was reportedly on leave from work to spend time with his family in Lagos.
The EFCC spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, confirmed the incident, adding that an investigation was ongoing to unravel the cause of Yange’s death.
According to reports, this is the second time an EFCC operative’s death has been reported in recent times.
On January 19, the agency said Aminu Salisu, an assistant superintendent officer was killed in Anambra.
Salisu was allegedly killed by Joshua Ikechukwu, a suspected internet fraudster, during an operation in Anambra.
According to the anti-graft agency’s spokesman, the late officer was killed while discharging a legitimate duty.
He reiterated that the suspect, who spotted investigators via closed-circuit television, CCTV, cameras mounted at his doorstep, refused to open his door despite their polite request for entrance.
The EFCC image maker said preliminary investigations showed that Ikechukwu was involved in coding and online medical supplies of doubtful legitimacy.
