Tragic: Police Inspector Ajele Oloyede Dies by Suicide at Ogun State Security Post

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.
