The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) said on Tuesday that Julius Haruna, the director of its North-West zone, had passed away.

Last Wednesday, after scuffles with Ms. Muibat Abdusalam, another commission employee, the director passed away in his Katsina office.

Police are looking into the incident, according to a statement from Tam Tamunokonbia, the FCCPC's secretary of the governing board.

The Katsina State Police Command is in charge of Ms. Abdusalam.

However, he said that the FCCPC had established its own inquiry team to look into the circumstances surrounding the director's passing.

In order to ensure a fair, transparent, and credible investigation, Tamunokonbia said the board has also instructed the immediate, but temporary, relieve of relevant leadership and staff inside the commission.

He mentioned that Ben Nwoye, a lawyer and board member, had been chosen to lead the Independent Internal Investigation Panel looking into the director's passing.

He claimed that retired AVM Wakili Ahmed, a different board member of the FCCPC, had been chosen as the panel's co-chairman.

According to Tamunokonbia, the board ordered that members of the panel be chosen from among representatives of the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade, and Investment and the Office of the Head of Service of the Federation.

"The command has taken Ms. Abdusalam into custody at this time.

When appropriate, the commission will continue to make appropriate, thorough, and frank disclosures of information regarding any investigative findings and/or legal proceedings.

The FCCPC board secretary stated that "the commission continues to carry out its role, including throughout the North-West region."
