“On 23rd of October, at about 5:30pm, information was received from A/0 SWAT Plateau State Command that they have not seen nor heard from their commander, SP Nahum Gwadi Eli,” a police source said. 

“He didn’t report to duty and his phone was ringing, but no response.

They called the management of the hotel and forced the door open. He was found lying on the ground beside the bed.

The family was contacted and the scene of the crime was visited by the Divisional Police Officer in charge of Anglo-Jos. 

“A Police Medical doctor was called upon and photographs were taken.  The body was removed to Plateau Specialist Hospital, where he was confirmed dead by a medical doctor.  The corpse was deposited at the same hospital mortuary for autopsy. No foul play suspected yet,” the officer said

Meanwhile, friends and family members have mourned the deceased officer.

O grave, where is thy victory?” 1Cor. 15:55. LORD we bow our hearts in worship,” he wrote.
