According to eyewitness reports, Agala had been attending court sessions when he unexpectedly slumped over within the court premises. He was swiftly rushed to the nearby Police Clinic but was sadly confirmed dead on arrival by medics.
The tragic incident has elicited great sadness amongst lawyers who knew Agala well. Many grieving colleagues gathered at the clinic while hoping he would regain consciousness, only to be met with devastating loss.
“It is with a heavy heart that I share this awful news about our colleague Eze,” a senior lawyer communicated to peers via a solemn statement. “I just witnessed his lifeless body at the Police Clinic after his collapse at court. He was a jolly good fellow, always full of life.”
