An assistant director with the National Biotechnology Development Agency (NABDA), Mr Christopher Orji, has reportedly committed suicide in Abuja.

According to Daily Trust, Orji’s lifeless body was found dangling from a ceiling fan at his residence, in the Federal Housing Authority Estate, Lugbe, Abuja, at about 4pm on August 30.

Police homicide detectives were still investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of the 59-year-old.
