* appointed into the presidential committee on the probe of arms deal,

The Fleet Commander, Western Naval Command (WNC) Rear Admiral Daniel Ikoli was Wednesday found dead at his Apapa, Lagos residence.

Ikoli, who was Commander, Nigerian Navy Ship (NNS) BEECROFT and later appointed into the presidential committee on the probe of arms deal, was said to have been found in a pool of his blood.

It was gathered that the senior officer left the office on Tuesday afternoon after complaining he wasn’t feeling too well.

The Nation reports that Rear Admiral Ikoli was battling an undisclosed illness, which made him loose weight.

He also became withdrawn contrary to his usual boisterous personality.

It was also gathered that the deceased was suffering from depression caused by the high dollar rate and unavailability Foreign Exchange (FOREX) for his children’s tuition.

According to sources, Ikoli usually expressed worries about the possibility of assassins going after him as a result of his membership in the committee.

Officers who worked under the deceased have expressed shock over his death, insisting he might have been assassinated.

According to a close aide to the deceased, a boy who lives at his home claimed he heard gunshot from Ikoli’s room and took cover.

He said: “The boy said he heard gunshot and when he did, he took cover. His wife is in Abuja and his children school abroad. His orderly and Naval Assistant (NA) usually go after dropping him.

“The bullet hit him on the chest. Three bullets were seen in his room. No one can really tell what happened but the position he was seen suggests he might have been scared of something or someone.

“He was a nice and intelligent officer. He was the one who spearheaded the renovations at BEECROFT when he was Commander. It’s a sad news really.”

Contacted, the command’s information officer, Lieutenant Commander Chinwe Umar said the police have been invited for investigation.

She said: “In the early hours of Wednesday, April 5, gunshots were heard in the vicinity where Rear Admiral Teikumo Daniel Ikoli resides in Apapa.

“When his room was opened, he was found dead. Police have been invited and investigation is ongoing. When the situation is clearer, an update would be given.”

There's something wrong with this story an admiral in the navy is same as a general in the army. They always have security 24/7,so how did this happen? Did he commit 'suicide'? Too many loose ends in this story.

Evidence of a failed state, insecurity, assassination, kidnapping , robbery , senseless killings becomes the hall mark of such a useless government, and someone is telling me not to lose hope in this jungle called Nigeria, l rather go sleep in the zoo where animals are kept and be safe than entrust my security & safety to a useless government who have no clue on how to secure the lives and properties of the masses, once you fail to secure your citizenry, you have failed the acid test for governance , you have no business in government but to quit, nonsense

When Buhari appoints you for a job you know will take your life yet you didn't reject it asap for your children's sake. RIP and GOD Help the family to bear the loss. Pmb should appoint Daura, Kyari and Babachir to investigate the arms deal or do it himself

Bro, their foolishness defies logic I tell you. The way they reason is too dumb for comfort.

Islie:


“The bullet hit him on the chest. Three bullets were seen in his room. No one can really tell what happened but the position he was seen suggests he might have been scared of something or someone.

An assassination obviously.

The wicked will not go unpunished. How can you end a precious life you cannot create.

dollars

assasins.

who wrote this nonsense ? Na wa o.


RIP Man.

Rest in peace...

This is very sad.
Senate is frustrating Magu,and hired assasins av probably got this man,probably because of his role in the arms probe committee.
A proactive and deep thinking govt wud know it's time to bring out the big guns and stop d senate and other powerful,enormously rich & corrupt people from frustrating and in this case,murdering people that want to see these elements brought to justice for their corrupt crimes against d state.
But this govt will likely not be able to know d kind of damage these 2 events wud do to d anti corruption fight and lazies on as usual.
Probably next thing we wud hear is the govt trying to reconcile with corrupt murderers too,as it's trying to do with d senate?

Omo see Gobe

Quite sad.

Jesu ooooooooooooooo

believe it or not this is SPIRITUAL. his time is up. this is not an assassination. if you do know what happens in the force you would just run away

How can Rear Admiral (Major General equivalent ) and Commander of the whole Western Naval command (GOC equivalent) not have 24 hour police protection

Intelligent Naval Officer gone like that. R.I.P

Them begin to apologise but mehn those naval officers dey live life for that their ship o.. saw them smooching women getting drunk and smoking weed. Anyways it was on a sunday.
