The family of the deceased is now calling for a comprehensive investigation into the circumstances of his death. Christopher’s father, Christopher Dan, expressed his shock over not having seen his son’s body as of Thursday. He recounted being informed by one of his sons that the police needed him at the Old GRA Police Station, but when he arrived, there was no record of his son at the station.

Dan described being directed to the Surveillance Office at the Old GRA Police Station and then to the NNPC Upstream and Downstream facilities on Moscow Road. Despite visiting the site where his son allegedly fell, Dan found no visible signs to confirm the fall’s location. He criticized the lack of clarity about the exact floor from which his son fell and noted the absence of conclusive evidence at the site.

The Public Relations Officer of the state police command, Grace Iringe-Koko, confirmed the incident and stated that an investigation is underway at the Old GRA Police Division.

Additionally, Mr. Prince Wiro, National Coordinator of the Centre for Basic Rights Protection and Accountability Campaign, has called for a detailed investigation to determine the true nature of the incident, questioning why the matter was not reported to the Central Police Station (CPS), which has jurisdiction over the area.
