A Deputy Inspector-General of Police and head of the Criminal Investigation Department (FCID), Joseph Egbunike slumped and died in his office.
It was learnt that Egbunike died in his office in Abuja on Tuesday night.
Egbunike’s Federal Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (FCIID) is widely seen as the most powerful and preoccupied police department.
The deceased was the head of the police panel that investigated disgraced police officer, Abba Kyari linked to wire fraud perpetrated by international scammer, Ramon Abbas alias Hushpuppi.
Before he was appointed DIG in late 2020, Egbunike was the head of the Police Finance Department.
