The Nigeria Police Force has been plunged into mourning following the death of a Superintendent of Police, Nahun Gwadi Eli, who died in his hotel room in Jos, Plateau State.
He was found dead and lying on the floor beside his bed after concerned officers broke down his hotel room.
It was further gathered that until his death, Eli was the Commander A/0 SWAT, Plateau State Command.
According to sources, his men became worried after repeatedly calling his phone line, but it repeatedly rang out.
This led some of the policemen to head to his hotel room, where they also knocked countless times, but got no response.
This made them force the hotel room door open.
The death of the SP has been ruled as sudden and unnatural death.
A police source said: “On 23rd of October, at about 5:30pm, information was received from A/0 SWAT Plateau State Command that they have not seen nor heard from their commander, SP Nahum Gwadi Eli.
