The decaying corpse of Okojie was found at his plot of land at Igbira Camp, along Igarra/Auchi road, four days after he was said to have been missing.
Okojie, who left behind a wife and three children, was said to have been due for promotion to Chief Instructor by month ending before he died.
Family sources said he did not leave any suicide note.

He was said to have driven out of the house as if he was going to the office.
