According to information received by Kossyderrickent, Joseph Egbunike, deputy inspector-general of police in charge of the force’s criminal investigations division, has been laid to rest.

Prior to his death, Egbunike was the head of the IGP-appointed panel to probe the FBI charges against suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police Abba Kyari (DCP).
The force announced in a tweet on Saturday that the late officer was buried in his hometown of Onitsha, Anambra state.
“Ife melu Anambra!” wrote Charles Soludo.
DIG Joseph O. Egbunike Psc. Fcna’s death is a big loss for our beloved Anambra State.

“I beg to God Almighty to give his family and Anambra the strength to suffer this devastating loss.” May his spirit find eternal rest in the Lord’s bosom! Amen.
