Although investigations are at early and inconclusive stages, information known suggests that he was involved in a dispute which escalated to, and included physical contact with Ms. Muibat Taiwo Abdusalam, another employee of the Commission,” the statement reads in part.

Confirming the incident, the police spokesman in Katsina, SP Gambo Isah disclosed that the suspect had reportedly done a certain report for which she demanded N80,000.

The deceased directed the cashier to give N4,000 to Abdusalam, arguing that what she did was not up to the amount she demanded.

Isah said, according to the police investigation, an argument ensued between the suspect and the deceased in his office in the presence of the cashier who later left the two in a fierce argument.

He added that the victim allegedly manhandled the deceased, tore his clothes and took his nude picture. She reportedly rushed to the GRA police station, where she reported him for alleged sexual harassment.

“Our investigations also revealed that the suspect, Ms Muhibat, had fought four previous directors who were there before the deceased,” Isah said, adding that investigation into the matter was ongoing.

After her report at the police station, some police officers were said to have followed her to the directors office only to meet him lifeless on the floor, with bruises on his body.

Meanwhile, the FCCPC has said it is doing everything possible to assist the police with its investigation. In addition, the Governing Board of the Commission has instituted an independent internal investigation on the matter, to conclude within 21 working days or any extensions granted by the Board.

The statement by FCCPC reads: “On Wednesday, August 17, 2022, Mr Julius Haruna, Assistant Director and Head, FCCPC North-West Zonal Office, Katsina died in the Commission’s office in Katsina.

“Although investigations are at early and inconclusive stages, information known suggests that he was involved in a dispute which escalated to, and included physical contact with Ms. Muibat Taiwo Abdusalam, another employee of the Commission. The Katsina State Police Command is currently seized with, and continuing investigations. The deceased is currently deposited in the morgue of Katsina General Hospital and awaiting an autopsy. Ms. Abdusalam is currently detained by the state Police Command.

In addition, the Commission has been in communication with the family of the detained Ms. Abdusalam with respect to answering their questions and providing any legitimate and applicable support in the circumstances. The Commission is also assisting and supporting the Police investigation of the sad occurrence.

“There are current, and indeed a record of past cross allegations of conflict and abuse/aggression by the deceased and Ms. Abdulsalam; which current claims include an assertion of insufficient remedial action by the management of the Commission.

Directed Executive Management of the Commission to immediately engage an experienced and independent legal counsel as member, guide and support to the Panel;

“5. Immediately but temporarily relieve relevant leadership and operatives within the Commission in order to ensure a fair, transparent and credible investigation.

“Although there have been some news coverage of this painful incident, none of the speculations therein are fully verified or sufficiently established as valid evidence.

The Commission will continue to make appropriate, full, and frank disclosures of information, any investigative outcomes and or judicial processes (where applicable). The Commission notwithstanding continues to discharge its mandate including across the North-West of Nigeria.

“Once again, the Governing Board of the Commission extends its deepest condolence to the family and friends, as well as co-workers/colleagues of the late Mr. Julius Haruna”.
