A Deputy Commissioner of Police, DCP Abubakar Guri, the DC in office of COMPOL MOPOL, Force Headquarters, Abuja, on Monday slumped and died.
According to the VANGUARD, unnamed sources said the late DCP, who was in uniform, slumped on his seat in his office and was quickly taken to the clinic inside Police headquarters for medical assistance, where he was confirmed dead.
However, the reason for the death of the officer, who was said to have looked hale and hearty and exchanged pleasantries with officers and staff of the Mopol department when he reported for duty was unknown.
An authoritative source, within the command suggested that the senior officer’s sudden collapse and death may not be unconnected with heart failure, noting that in recent times, many police officers out of fatigue have suffered the same fate, because they work around the clock, even at night, without rest.
