The DPO, whose name was yet to be determined when publishing this story, reportedly slumped at the police station on Wednesday and was rushed to the Annunciation Specialist Hospital at Emene, Enugu State.

It was learnt that unfortunately, despite that doctors on duty battled for several hours to revive him, he was eventually pronounced dead.

A hospital source confirmed to SaharaReporters on Wednesday evening that the policeman was pronounced dead at the facility earlier in the day.

“A man said to be a policeman was actually brought into the hospital in the afternoon but efforts to revive him failed. So we lost him,” the source said.
