A Deputy Commissioner of Police, DCP Abubakar Mohammed Guri, of the police mobile force has reportedly slumped and gave up the ghost.
Sources said the late DCP who was in his uniform, slumped on his seat in his office, but was rushed to the clinic inside Police headquarters for medical assistance, where he was confirmed dead.
No official reasons have been adduced for the death of the officer who was said to have looked hale and hearty and exchanged pleasantries with officers and staff of the Mopol department when he reported for duty.
However, a source who spoke in confidence, opined that the senior officer’s sudden collapse and death may not be unconnected with heart failure noting that in recent times, many police officers out of fatigue have suffered the same fate, because they work round the clock, even at night, without rest.
The source said “some officers rushed him to the hospital, and even before reaching there, he had already passed away.
We are now arranging for his burial whether here in Abuja or in his hometown.

“He is a good man. He might have been fasting when he died. May Allah forgive him and make Jannatul Firdaus his final abode.”
No official statement had been released about the incident at the time of press, as arrangements were still ongoing to update the family.
