ABUJA - THE Police in Abuja have declared the pathologist that conducted the autopsy on the late MOBITEL boss, Mr. Charles Alaba Joseph, wanted following the discovery that he (Police pathologist) had absconded. The pathologist had shocked the world when he revealed in the autopsy report that the late Mr. Joseph did not commit suicide as widely reported but that he was killed.
The controversy surrounding the claims and counter claims by both the family of the deceased and his business associates had prompted the Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Sunday Ehindero, to order that the Force Criminal Investigations Department take over the case. It was during the investigations by the FCID that it was discovered that the Police pathologist had absconded.
Pressed to disclose what could have informed that decision of the pathologist to abscond, a police source told Vanguard that his life might have been under threat or that something unthinkable might have happened to him.
On how the disappearance of the pathologist would affect the investigations or the autopsy report, the source said he was needed to physically authenticate his findings.
On Friday, September 16, the late Mr. Alaba Joseph was said to have jumped to death from his Lagos high-rise corporate headquarters.
