The Ogun State Police Command has disclosed that an operative of the Nigeria Police Force, Ajele Oloyede, allegedly committed suicide by killing himself with a gun in the Igbesa area of Ogun State.
According to the police, the incident occurred last Thursday at a ceramics company in Igbesa, where the officer had been posted as security detail.
The command has reportedly commenced an investigation to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident.
Omolola Odutola, the command’s police public relations officer (PPRO) explained that
the incident was discovered by an officer from the Force Headquarters Annex, Lagos, Tolorunloju Stephen, who was on special duty at the company.
Stephen had allegedly returned from Ikeja around 1:20 pm and, upon entering the security office at the ceramics company, found Inspector Oloyede with his head resting on a table.
When asked out of concern about his well-being, Oloyede reportedly assured him that he was fine before the two officers exchanged greetings.
The command stated that Stephen proceeded to place his bag and pistol on the table before stepping into the restroom.
Moments later, it was gathered that a gunshot was heard.
Rushing back, Odutola stated that Stephen allegedly found Inspector Oloyede lying in a pool of blood.
Odutola stated, “With the help of private security personnel, the wounded officer was immediately taken to the Ota General Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead by the doctor on duty.
“Police officers visited the scene, and the deceased’s pistol was recovered. His body has been deposited at the Ota General Hospital for autopsy, while we have begun notifying his family.”
She disclosed that the case would be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department in Eleweran for further investigation.
