A top Government Official from the National Biotechnology Development Agency (NABDA) has reportedly committed suicide after EFCC invitation.
Reports revealed that Mr. Christopher Orji who was an Assistant Director of the agency reportedly committed suicide in Abuja.
It was gathered that Orji’s lifeless body was reportedly found dangling with a rope tied to a ceiling fan at his residence at Federal Housing Authority Estate, Lugbe, Abuja, at about 4pm on August 30.

Sources within NABDA told Daily Trust that police homicide detectives were still investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of 59-year-old Orji.
Reports said he had been invited by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to report at its Abuja office on the day he was found dead.
However, one of the staff of the agency, who pleaded anonymity, said Orji could not have killed himself as no suicide note was found at his residence.
When contacted, NABDA’s Acting Head of Communications and Protocol, Nkiru Amakeze, declined the comment.
“So, what do you want me to tell you now? Please, I can’t speak on it,” Amakaeze replied.
