Inspector Attached to Imo Government House Found Dead in His Room

Inspector Ekele Peter, a Nigerian Police officer from Ofante, Kogi State, attached to the Imo State Government House, was found dead in his room on Friday, sparking shock among colleagues and government staff. According to a security source who spoke to newsmen, Peter reportedly died on Tuesday, but his lifeless body was only discovered three days later.

A video circulating shows the officer lying unclothed on the floor, while colleagues covered him with a wrapper upon discovery. One staff member who spoke on condition of anonymity said, “It was a shocking sight. We never expected to find him like that. Peter was well-respected, and no one saw this coming.”

Efforts to obtain an official statement from the Nigeria Police Force have so far been unsuccessful. A senior security official told Sahara Reporters, “Investigations are ongoing, but it is too early to conclude the cause of death. The incident has been taken very seriously by authorities.”
