Hours after the media space was inundated by the death of Registrar of National Examination Council, NECO, Professor Godswill Obioma, via assassination, a contrary account by the Council has gone viral, saying the Registrar died in his sleep of heart failure.
Director of Human Resources of NECO, Abdul Mustapha gave this counter narrative to journalists on Tuesday morning.
He said “Professor Obioma died in his sleep as a result of heart failure.”
As confusion reigns, the family of the Professor is expected to clear the air against the earlier news which quoted a family member confirming he was assassinated.
“The truth is that he actually died of heart attack in his Minna Home. May his soul rest in peace”, said the NECO Director.
This may have cleared the confusion, but watchers of the development believe a clear and emphatic statement by the family will settle the confusion.
