Federal agency director, Christopher Orji commits suicide after EFCC’s invitation over financial misconduct
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 at his residence at Federal Housing Authority Estate, Lugbe, Abuja, at about 4:00p.m, on August 30.
Police Homicide Detectives were still investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of 59-year-old Orji, as at time of filing this report.
According to reports, the late Orji had been invited by the EFCC to report 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.
Until his death, Orji was NABDA’s Bioresource Centre coordinator in Langtang, Plateau State.
