While the cause of his death remains uncertain, an account by some of his friends claims he was stabbed to death by assailants, who gained access into his home. Another account claims the deceased was killed by two persons, who he granted access to his apartment. They allegedly stripped him naked, tied him up, and then strangled him. Eloagui is the creative director of Helenes Food Company, an Abuja-based brand. It was gathered that his lifeless body was found in his apartment on Sunday, August 1. The deceased is survived by his wife and family members.
