The NDLEA Commander in Cross River State, Mr. Morrison Ogbonna, was found dead in a Calabar hotel room on September 18, 2025.
Diaspora Digital Media gathered that officers arrived to pick him up for an official engagement but couldn’t reach him despite repeated knocks.
Hotel management was involved, and upon opening the door, they discovered his body.
Ogbonna had recently taken charge of the command after Mrs. Rachel Umebuali’s redeployment.
Police spokesman SP Irene Ugbo-Obase confirmed the incident but couldn’t provide details on the cause of death.
Meanwhile, his sudden death comes amid rising concerns over safety in Calabar, where several bodies have been discovered in recent weeks.
They include a headless teenager behind the Cross River Basin Authority in Ikot Effanga Mkpa, an unidentified corpse at the entrance of the NYSC Secretariat along Murtala Mohammed Highway, and another body found at Marian.
