It is not clear when he died and if he was ill.
The police spokesperson in the state, Timfon John, when contacted asked our reporter to wait for an official statement.
“Just wait for an official statement from his family and the command,” Ms John said.
Another operative who works at the police headquarters in Ikot Akpan Abia in Uyo confirmed the death to this newspaper this morning.
“Yes, it is true,” the operative said but declined to give details because she is not permitted to speak on the matter.
