Abba Kyari Trends Online As DIG Joseph Egbunike Dies

The suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari, trended on social media on Wednesday following the death of the Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG), Joseph Egbunike.

Naija News gathered that Egbunike reportedly slumped and died in his office in Abuja in the late hours of Tuesday.

However, police sources claimed that the senior police officer died of obesity complications at the National Hospital in Abuja, the nation’s capital.

Egbunike headed the Special Investigation Panel that investigated Kyari over his alleged involvement in a multi-billion dollar fraud involving suspected fraudster, Ramon Abbas popularly known as Hushpuppi.

Reacting to his death, some Nigerians have taken to social media to link Kyari to the death of the senior policeman while others claimed that Egbunike’s death was natural.

Please Joseph Egbunike was obese.
Stop this conspiracy because it involves Abba Kyari. Joseph Egbunike headed the panel that cleared Kyari at first.

Yes, an autopsy should be carried out but stop the conspiracy theories about his death. pic.twitter.com/XV37ywSEdf
