The deceased was discovered lying dead on the floor beside the bed after concerned police officers broke down his hotel room in Jos, last Monday.
According to sources, his men became worried after repeatedly calling his phone line without any response.
The policemen headed to his hotel room and knocked several times, but got no response.
They forced the hotel room door open and found him dead.
“On 23rd of October, at about 5:30pm, information was received from A/0 SWAT Plateau State Command that they have not seen nor heard from their commander, SP Nahum Gwadi Eli,” a police source confirmed.
“He 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 at the door and 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.
“A Police Medical doctor was called upon and photographs were taken. The body was removed to Plateau Specialist Hospital, where he was confirmed dead by a medical doctor. The corpse was deposited at the same hospital mortuary for autopsy. No foul play suspected yet,” the officer said.
The family was subsequently contacted and the scene of the crime was visited by the Divisional Police Officer in charge of Anglo-Jos.
