He was supposed to be on break till Monday, having worked at night; however, due to internal arrangements among colleagues during such public holidays, he was billed to report back to duty the next day afternoon, but he never did.’’Muhammad told DailyTrust.

Joel, as he was fondly called among his colleagues, was said to be a hardworking and very creative staff.
