Controversies have continued to trail the death of an officer of Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC), who died in Iwo, Osun state, after receiving alert of his salary, Monday.
The deceased, Opatola Muhammad, reportedly died when he discovered that his salary was not paid with the minimum wage.
An officer, in a chat obtained by Blueprint Correspondent, said, “Immediately after one of our officers in Osun command received his alert this morning, he just screamed ha! ha! ha! after which he fell down and never woke up. All efforts to rescue him from the shock proved abortive. His body has been deposited in the mortuary. Let’s just take things easy abeg ooooo…….”
Another officer who pleaded anonymity said, “We all saw the alert of our salaries almost the same time and we were all disappointed. We discussed it. He was visibly worried.”
Also, another officer said the deceased was found lying inside the toilet before he was rushed to the hospital where he was confirmed dead.
“The officer was hale and hearty when he resumed for duty. He attended to a few cases. Thereafter, he excused himself to visit the rest room. It was after some minutes that some of his colleagues that didn’t hear from him, went in to check him in the rest room. He was found on the floor and he was rushed to the hospital where he was confirmed dead,” another officer said.
