The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has announced the death of 52 years old Italian, Mr. Mauro Zanin, a suspected fraudster two days before he was scheduled to appear in court. He was found dead in the bathroom of EFCC’s detention facility in Abuja at about 4.50 am on Teusday. He had apparently committed suicide using his bedsheet. All efforts by the duty officers and a team of EFCC medical personnel led by Dr. Gideon Osi to revive him, failed. He was certified dead at about 5.45 am.

Though all clues point to suicide, the incident had been reported to the police station at Maitama for further investigation.
