A senior officer of the Nigerian Police Force (NPF), DSP Kenneth Ndu, slumped and died on Thursday while eating beans and plantains with colleagues at the command headquarters in Abia State.
Ndu had reportedly returned from an investigative operation with his team hours before he collapsed. He was rushed to the Federal Medical Centre (FMC) Umuahia, where doctors confirmed his death.
Speaking with THE WHISTLER, a top officer, who requested anonymity, clarified that Ndu was a team leader of the Swift Response Squad, Zone 9 Umuahia, not the Commander of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS), as some reports had suggested.
The report had read, “Tragedy struck at the Abia State Police Command on Thursday as the Commander of the DSP, Kenneth Ndu, slumped and died while eating with fellow officers.”
Confirming his death while clarifying, the source said, “Ndu was said to have died of cardiac arrest; the man is not a commander but a team leader at the Abia state command headquarters.”
THE WHISTLER also learnt that DSP Ndu was set to retire from the Nigerian Police Force in March 2025.
