How Rotimi Amaechi’s CSO, Tony Iwelu Died Hours After Rumoured Attack On Convoy

Hours after a reported attack on the convoy of Mr Rotimi Amaechi by suspected kidnappers in Kaduna State, while departing a train station for the city center, the chief security officer to Rotimi Amaechi has died.

According to PREMIUM TIMES, the security officer, who was described as senior intelligence personnel, died on Monday morning while still on a trip with the transport minister in Kaduna.
The chief spokesperson for the SSS, Peter Afunanya, told PREMIUM TIMES on Tuesday morning that the officer was electrocuted in his hotel room in Kaduna.

The death of the CSO occurred hours after reports said Mr. Amaechi’s convoy was attacked in Kaduna while leaving from a train station to the city center. Mr. Amaechi had however denied the report on Twitter, referring to it as fake news on Sunday night.

A source allegedly close to Mr. Amaechi also claimed that the senior SSS intelligence officer died at a hotel in a case of electrocution, thereby dismissing any insinuation that it was from the rumored attack.

The name of the Kaduna hotel where the incident allegedly occurred was not disclosed by Mr. Afunanya.

However, sources who first informed PREMIUM TIMES of the officer’s death claimed the Mr. Amaechi's CSO died from injuries he sustained from the Sunday attack.

Some of the sources who confided on PREMIUM TIMES include colleagues of the departed officer, although PREMIUM TIMES has not been able to independently corroborate the official or private version of how the orderly died.

May his soul rest in peace.
