On Tuesday the National Examinations Council (NECO) has refuted claims that its Registrar, Godswill Obioma, was assassinated.
NECO in a statement by its Director of Human Resources, Abdul Mustapha, said Obioma died in his sleep as a result of heart failure.
Mustapha stated that the son of the deceased had informed the management of the agency that his father was not assassinated.
The message read thus: “Mustapha K. Abdul (Director Human Resource Management, NECO.
