NSCDC operative collapses, dies
An operative of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, Muhammed Opatola has reportedly died after collapsing at work.
It was gathered that the incident which occurred at the Iwo division of the command, was said to have happened after receiving an alert of October’s salary on Monday.
While some of his colleagues said he slumped after receiving the salary alert which did not include promotion arrears, others said his death has nothing to do with the payment.
A source at the Iwo division confided in Vanguard that the deceased had attended to a few cases before leaving his desk to visit the toilet.
“It is true we were all disappointed when we received the October salary alert without the promotion arrears but Opatola did not slump thereafter.
“He had attended to some cases the same day before going to the toilet. But a few minutes later we decided to check on him and found his body on the floor.
“We quickly rushed him to a hospital but was said to be pronounced dead when we got there, it is really unfortunate”, the source said.
Effort to get the command’s spokesperson’s reaction proved abortive as her phone was not reachable and did not respond to messages sent to her.
