In a shocking discovery, the body of Mr. Morrison Ogbonna, the newly appointed commander of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) in Cross River State, was found in a Calabar hotel room on September 18, 2025. This tragic event has sent ripples of concern through the city, especially as it adds to a series of recent mysterious deaths.
Ogbonna's officers, who had arrived at the hotel to collect him for official duties, made the grim find. After their knocks went unanswered, the hotel management intervened, revealing the commander's lifeless body inside the room. This sudden and unexpected death has left many questions hanging in the air, particularly given Ogbonna's recent deployment to the region last month. He had taken over from Mrs. Rachel Umebuali, and his untimely passing has left a void in the agency's leadership.
The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Irene Ugbo-Obase, confirmed the incident but provided no further details on the cause of death. This lack of information has only heightened the sense of mystery surrounding the case. With three other unexplained deaths in Calabar in recent weeks, including a gruesome discovery of a headless teenager, the city is grappling with a disturbing trend. These incidents have raised serious security concerns, prompting questions about the safety of the region and the potential underlying causes of these tragedies.
As the community mourns the loss of Commander Ogbonna, the authorities are faced with the daunting task of unraveling the circumstances surrounding his death and addressing the broader security issues that have been brought to light. The investigation into this case will be closely watched as the public awaits answers to ensure justice and peace in the region.
