Emeka Eloagu, a popular Nigerian chef, has been found dead at his home in the federal capital territory (FCT).

It was gathered that the lifeless body of the chef was found in his apartment on Sunday, while the cause of his death remains uncertain, an account by some of his friends claims he was stabbed to death by assailants who gained access into his home.

Another account claims the deceased was killed by two persons who he granted access to his apartment. They allegedly stripped him naked, tied him up, and then strangled him.
