It was reported that the commander, a member of the presidential committee investigating the $15bn arms deal, left his office on Tuesday around 1pm, on the grounds that he was ill.
According to his houseboy, he heard a gunshot coming from the deceased's room at about 5 am on Wednesday, April 5, 2017, and rushed inside only to meet him in the pool of his blood and he raised an alarm.
A source close to Okoli disclosed that he had been managing depression and an undisclosed ailment for some time, adding that the conditions could have led him into committing suicide.
