Detail of customs officer who died at National Assembly revealed (photo)
A top officer of the Nigerian Customs Service who slumped and died at the National Assembly, was identified as Essien Etop Andrew.
Andrew died at the National Assembly Clinic in Abuja on Tuesday.
Until his death, he was the Deputy Comptroller, Finance Administration and Technical Service of the Nigerian Customs Service.
While addressing the committee of the Public Account of the House of Representatives where he appeared for questioning on Tuesday in continuation of the ongoing probe of revenue-generating agencies and parastatals of government on remittance of levies into designated government accounts, Andrew suddenly paused and said “Sir, I need to take water.”
The Chairman of the Committee, Bamidele Salam, responded, “You need to take water, sir? Yes, go ahead! Or if you need tea… Do you need tea?”
However, the customs boss repeated, “I may need to take water,” and then collapsed.
The House later announced his death in a statement signed later by the spokesman for the House, Akin Rotimi.
