The Commandant of the Edo State Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, Gbenga Agun, on Thursday reportedly slumped and died at an event in Benin City.

Agun was said to have been rushed to the Military Hospital at Airport Road, Benin City, for medical attention, but was, however, pronounced dead on arrival.

The Edo NSCDC Command and the national headquarters of the agency are yet to comment on the development.
