There is still some confusion surrounding Obioma's death, with one report saying he was assassinated, while another report details that he slumped in his bedroom in Minna, Niger State yesterday, after an official trip to Abuja and was rushed by his wife and other relatives back to National Hospital, Abuja where he eventually died.
A police spokesperson did not immediately return requests for comments.
A statement from Mustapha Abdul, Director of Human Resource Management at NECO says "Obioma died after a brief illness." Abdul also asks "staff to remain calm."
