A Superintendent of Police, Nahun Gwadi Eli, has been found dead in his hotel room in Jos, the Plateau State capital. Until his death, Eli was the Commander of A/O SWAT, Plateau State Command.
His corpse was reportedly found on the floor beside his bed after concerned colleagues broke the door to his hotel room.
According to several online platforms which did not provide sources, his colleagues became worried after repeatedly calling his phone line without any response. The policemen visited the hotel room and knocked on the door several times without any response. They then forced the hotel room door open and found him dead.
Online platforms stated that, on 23rd of October, at about 5:30pm, information was received from A/0 SWAT Plateau State Command that they had not seen or heard from their commander, SP Nahum Gwadi Eli.
“This is because Eli didn’t report to duty and his phone was ringing, but no response. They decided to visit his hotel room along old Airport Road, and when they got there, they knocked on the door nut there was no response.
“They called the management of the hotel and forced the door open. He was found lying on the ground beside the bed,” the platforms alleged.
