A Deputy Inspector-General of Police and head of the Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) Joseph Egbunike is dead.
Sources said Egbunike slumped 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.
Until being appointed DIG in late 2020, Egbunike had worked for several years as the head of the Police Finance Department.
