52 years old Italian, Mr. Mauro Zanin, a suspected fraudster committed suicide two days before he was scheduled to appear in court.
He was found motionless in the bathroom of the Commission’s
detention facility in Abuja at about 4.50 am on June 19, 2012. He had
apparently committed suicide using his bedsheet. All effort by the duty
officers and a team of EFCC medical personnel led by Dr. Gideon Osi of
the Commission’s Medical Unit to revive him with cardiopulmonary
resuscitation proved futile. He was subsequently certified dead at about
5.45 am.
Though all clues point to suicide, the incident has been reported to the Nigeria Police Station, Maitama for investigation.
The deceased was arrested by Officers of the Nigerian Immigration
Service following a complaint by one Ahamefula Chibuzor Ewuzie that he
fraudulently obtained the sum of $111,000 from Gladwaters Nigeria
Limited, and transferred to the Commission on 30th May, 2012 for further
investigation.
