A newly promoted officer of the Nigeria Security Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) simply identified as Opatola attached to Iwo division has reportedly slumped and died after receiving salary.

The Nation learnt that Opatola died in the division’s rest room on Monday after working a while in the office.

A source, in the command who do not want to be named, said the officer who was promoted and decorated last week resumed duty hale and hearty before his death.

According to the source: “We all saw the alert of our salaries almost same time with the deceased and we were all disappointed.

“We discussed it. He was visibly worried. The officer was hale and hearty when he resumed for duty, he attended to a few cases.

“Thereafter, he excused himself to visit the rest room. It was after some minutes that some of his colleagues who didn’t hear from him, went in to check him in the restroom. He found him on the floor, he was rushed to the hospital where he was confirmed dead.”

Another source said: “it is so disheartening that a newly promoted Opatola slumped and died few days after he was promoted. We guess that disappointment from his salary aggravated his underlying ailment which resulted to his death.”

Efforts to get the reaction of Osun Command NSCDC spokesperson, Kehinde Adeleke were abortive.

She did not respond to calls and text messages as of the time of filing this report.

Otumokpo is real especially in high places

Chai, futility of life! He saw his salary and could not withstand the attendant joy.

meobizy:
He looks like a Nairaland bingo. I’m sure he borrowed money from loan companies and did the same from friends. When he saw the new salary didn’t meet his expectations, otilor.

Buharidgeneral:
Maybe the salary doesn't commensurate with promotion
