Nigerian police is a disgrace, how can they conclude hastily that he killed himself ?

Yeye people all they can do is jump fence and burst into people's house looking for wetin no loss

How can a man shoot himself 3 times in a suicide attempt ? someone said

maybe he shot himself once, his soul shot him again and then his spirit took the third shot
Funny but true , i saw that comment as sarcastic


That man did not kill himself , he was killed by someone else and i suspect it has something to do with being on the arms investigation panel


If the man has / owns a remote controlled gate , then i am certain he has cctv surrounding his house , probably alarm and all those stuffs

If CCTV Malfunctioned that day , HOLD THE HOUSEBOY AND TORTURE HIM , it's an inside job


Yeye phone checker police , do proper investigation and stop shooting small boys who can't defend himself

you killed one in Ife, You killed two at UNIOSUN on school's field , you shot another one in Lagos

Do better investigation .... Eleriibu pipu

It could not have been the house boy. If it was truly an assassination, it was highly planned. The house boy is too minor to have been co-opted. If he was a collaborator or had any knowledge, I bet the assassins would have killed him thereafter, bearing in mind that his knowledge would uncover the gang if the security agent grill him for information.

People in the security service are trained on murders without leaving trails. They are the same guys who investigate crime, they know how to cover up tracks. Come to think of it, a highly ranked naval officer was the victim. We need independent & uncompromising forensic and crime scene combers to investigate this case.

What was his service pistol doing beside his dead body? What about the spent cartridges? Let an autopsy be done. If the slugs match those of his gun, it is either suicide or a shot from his gun by his house help. Finger printings of the pistol butt is mandatory. May he RIP.

You don't even have to torture anyone, simple logic helps in a case like this.

Secure the scene, interview everyone that came in contact with the body, take pictures of the crime scene and surrounding areas, collect necessary evidence from the scene including any that might include DNA. Dust for fingerprints etc

Its not that hard. A simple thing such as figuring out the position the body was found and the direction the gun faced in relation to the bullet holes in his body starts the process of elimination (of suspects) faster. The position of the Blood splatter from the victim can also help determine what happened. Does the Nigerian police know if the victim was right handed or left handed? Did they bother to check the door knobs, light switches, railings etc for fingerprints to determine who was in the residence with him prior to his assassination? Did they check under his fingernails for DNA evidence; probably a struggle ensued before he was killed? It is possible. Knowing the Nigerian Police though, they probably just contaminated the whole scene on arrival and came with buckets of water to wash off the blood thereby destroying potential evidence.

This is a simple case that could be solved by a rookie if he has the proper equipment and training.

A thorough and meticulous investigation should be carried out, this is a case of high level assassination.


Same way my uncle died mysteriously in late January, he was until his death a brigadier general at the defense headquarters.



RIP Brigadier General John Amuta.

I wonder why you bother yourself quoting that thing. Rather than keeping quiet and leaving others in doubt, some creatures must just exhibit the stuff they are made of. Some comments are actually not worth attention.

I suspected assassination and cover up. There's no reason whatsoever for him to kill himself. It's either the people involved in the corruption case or rank tussle.

It is so sad! Sad!! Whoever tries to do a private investigation may even be murdered too. Read the handwriting on the wall.

The late rear admiral, Daniel Ikoli, the Fleet Commander, Western Naval Command, Lagos, who was found dead at his Apapa residence on April 5, did not kill himself, contrary to some reports.

According to authoritative sources at the command, Mr. Ikoli may have been assassinated as he had no cause to kill himself.

“Ikoli has been penciled down by the President as the next Chief of Naval Staff; he recently earned a special promotion to his present rank from Commodore.


“He was on the panel probing arms deal which also affects the Armed Forces, including the Navy.

“Ikoli was a disciplined, gentle, straightforward and honest man, who had no regard for protocol. It is nothing but a murder case,’’ a source told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Friday in Lagos.

The source also said that because of his performance as the Commander, NNS Beecroft, he was loved by all officers and the junior ones.

He said: “Ikoli transformed the place by introducing smart I.D. cards and increasing special duty allowance from N4,000 to N12,000.

“Everybody is aware that he was an introvert, but he made sure that things worked properly and he had respect for all and zero tolerance for corruption.

“He really complimented President Buhari on his anti-corruption war and I think that was why he was appointed to serve on the arms deal probe panel.

“His elevation as the next Chief of Naval Staff would have been announced if not for the president’s trip to London for medical checkup.”

Another officer, who said he worked with him, also told NAN that the late Mr. Ikoli, a rear admiral, was an easy-going man who did not believe in bothering people.

“At the close of work, he usually allows his aides to go home and stay with their families.
“In most cases, he will be the one to open the gate of his residence for visitors using a remote control.

“The officer would not have killed himself; it is pure case of assassination.

“There is a mystery surrounding his death; for instance, the two ambulances they brought to take him to the mortuary refused to move.

“It was when they brought his service car and transferred the body into it that they were able to take his corpse to the morgue,” he said.

I said it on this forum before that there are too many lawyers in the Police force. They seek legal short cuts by torturing ordinary people to confess crime and get convictions.
