Contrary to speculations, the National Examination Council, NECO, has clarified that its registrar, Godswill Obioma, died of heart failure.

This was contained in a statement issued by the Director, Human resources of NECO, Abdul Mustapha, who debunked reports that the NECO Chief was assassinated but rather died in his sleep as a result of heart failure, Vanguard reports.

Mustapha forwarded communication from Obioma’s second son, Prince Godswill Obioma, informing him of the death of his father thus:

“Mustapha K. Abdul (Director Human Resource Management, NECO).

“Dear sir, this is to formally inform you that my father, Prof. Godswill Obioma, the Registrar/Chief Executive of NECO, passed to eternal glory yesterday, 31/5/2021, after a brief illness.

“We request that you kindly notify the Board, Management and the entire staff of the council of this development. We shall keep you duly informed.

“Prince Godswill Obioma the 2nd, for the family.”

The details of the conversation between the deceased’s son and Mustapha contradicted an earlier report which quoted his wife, Elizabeth Obioma, alleginq that the NECO boss was assassinated in his Minna residence by some unknown gunmen.
