The Edo State Commandant of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Agun Gbenga, on Thursday slumped and died in Benin shortly after delivering a goodwill message at an event.

Gbenga was a guest at a programme organised by the International Association of World Peace Advocates (IAWPA) held at the Bishop Kelly Pastoral Centre, where he was also slated to receive an award.

Eyewitnesses said he suddenly collapsed moments after his speech.

Efforts by attendees to revive him proved abortive before he was rushed to the Military Base Hospital in Benin, where doctors confirmed him dead.

Confirming the incident to PUNCH Metro, the spokesperson for NSCDC headquarters, Afolabi Babawale, said: “Yes, it is true that we lost the Edo State Commandant this afternoon. He slumped in a function.”

The late Commandant’s passing has thrown the Corps and stakeholders in Edo State into mourning.
