A police inspector, Ajele Oloyede, has reportedly died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound at a ceramics company in Igbesa, Ogun State, where he was stationed as part of the security detail.

PUNCH Online gathered on Sunday that the incident occurred on Thursday.

According to the state police spokesperson, Omolola Odutola, an officer from Force Headquarters Annex, Lagos, Tolorunloju Stephen, discovered the incident upon returning from Ikeja around 1:20 p.m.

Stephen reportedly found Oloyede resting his head on a table inside the security office.

When asked about his well-being, the inspector assured Stephen that he was fine.

Odutola said Stephen then placed his bag and pistol on the table and stepped into the restroom.

Odutola stated that Stephen allegedly found Oloyede lying in a pool of blood.

Odutola said, “With the help of private security personnel, the wounded officer was immediately taken to 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 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.
