A tragic incident occurred in Igbesa, Ogun State, where police inspector Ajele Oloyede reportedly died by suicide while on duty at a ceramics company.
The event took place on March 13, 2025, and was discovered by fellow officer Tolorunloju Stephen.
Stephen, returning from a trip to Ikeja at 1:20 p.m., found Oloyede resting his head at the security post.
When asked about his condition, Oloyede assured Stephen he was fine. Moments later, after Stephen stepped away, a gunshot rang out.
Rushing back, Stephen found Oloyede slumped over, bleeding from a self-inflicted wound.
Private security officers assisted in rushing him to Ota General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
Authorities have launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident, with the Ogun State Police Command urging officers to seek mental health support. The case has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) for further inquiry.
