EFCC Suspect Dies during Eid Prayers in Kirikiri
A businessman and foreign exchange dealer, Alhaji Suleiman Yerima remanded in prison custody following an on-going trial by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has been reported dead.
Yerima died last Friday during the end of Ramadan fasting prayers on the Muslim Praying Ground in Kirikiri prison, Lagos.
Officials
told PRNigeria that the businessman suddenly slumped while prayers were
ongoing and was subsequently rushed to the medical facility by prisons
officials and the visiting imams, where he was later pronounced death.
Although
results of the autopsy on the corpse was still being awaited, Yerima is
suspected to have died of natural causes as preliminary examinations
showed that he suffered a sudden cardiac arrest, which led to his
slumping during the prayers.
