The cause of the death of Mr. Edward Soje, the director, who committed suicide in Kogi State will be revealed through an autopsy.
Kogi State Police Command made this remark on Monday when it announced its decision to carry out the autopsy.
The Police Public Relation Officer, ASP William Aya, who disclosed this during a news conference, said the autopsy was necessary because Soje, before committing suicide, had partial stroke.
The result of the autopsy, he said, would be made known as soon as it was ready.
Aya said the police were yet to get the note Soje wrote before committing suicide.
While pointing out that the family of the deceased were yet to report the case, Aya said “Police were notified of the development by the military intelligence office in the barracks.’’
