son of the late Registrar of the National Examination Council, (NECO), Prince Godswill Obioma the 2nd, on Tuesday narrated how his father died.
A short letter he sent to the management of the council indicated that the Registrar died after a brief illness.
.“We shall keep you duly informed.”
It was further learnt that the registrar died on Monday evening after his trip from Abuja to Minna. He was said to have complained of being tired at about 3pm but was found dead at about 5pm in his house.
Recall that the late registrar appointed in 2020,was alleged of mismanagement and corruption by both the staff and board of the agency.
He was alleged to have also attempted to release the sum of N1.8 billion to some contractors who the board had said should not be paid.
The examination body’s board had recommended his removal to the education minister, Adamu Adamu.
The recommendation was said to have been forwarded to President Muhammadu Buhari for approval and could have been removed this week before news of his death broke.
Earlier reports had claimed the late registrar, was reportedly strangled to death by gunmen suspected to be assassins.
The report said his wife, Elizabeth Obioma, confirmed the incident on Tuesday morning.
