A police inspector, Ajele Oloyede, has reportedly taken his own life with a gunshot wound at a ceramics company in Igbesa, Ogun State, where he was stationed as part of a security team.
The tragic incident, which occurred on Thursday, was discovered by an officer from the Force Headquarters Annex in Lagos, Tolorunloju Stephen, upon his return from Ikeja around 1:20 p.m., according to state police spokesperson Omolola Odutola.
