Assistant director of the National Biotechnology Development Agency (NABDA), Christopher Orji, has reportedly committed suicide in Abuja.
Orji who was living at Federal Housing Authority Estate, Lugbe, Federal Capital Territory was reportedly found ‘lifeless’, dangling with a rope tied to a ceiling fan at his Abuja home.
A Source within NABDA says police homicide detectives were still investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of 59-year-old Orji.
While reports said Orji had been invited by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to report at its Abuja office on the day he was found dead.
However, one of the staff of the agency, who pleaded anonymity, said Orji could not have killed himself as no suicide note was found at his residence.
When contacted, NABDA’s Acting Head of Communications and Protocol, Nkiru Amakeze, declined to comment.
Until his death, Christopher Orji was the NABDA’s Bioresource Centre coordinator in Langtang, Plateau State.
