An assistant director of the National Biotechnology Development Agency (NABDA), Mr. Christopher Orji, has reportedly committed suicide in Abuja.
Orji’s lifeless body was reportedly found dangling with a rope tied to a ceiling fan in his residence at Federal Housing Authority Estate, Lugbe, Abuja, on August 30.
Reports say police homicide detectives are yet investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of 59-year-old man.
Reports further said he had been invited by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to appear at its Abuja office on the day he was found dead.
However, one of the staff of the agency, who pleaded anonymity, said Orji could not have killed himself as no suicide note was found at his residence.
No official of the agency was willing to comment of the incident.
Until his death, Orji was the NABDA’s Bioresource Centre coordinator in Langtang, Plateau State.
