Suicide Watch: Rear Admiral Commits Suicide by hinwazaka: 6:36pm On Apr 05, 2017
Barely seven months after he was promoted from the rank of a commodore to a rear admiral, Daniel Teikumo Ikoli, an officer of the Nigerian Navy, has died in his residence in Apapa GRA, Lagos.He was said to have shot himself in the chest after firing two previous shots that hit the wall and the television set in his house. When THISDAY visited his house in Apapa, it was as quiet as a grave yard, as no soul was found there, although some of his neighbours said his body had since been removed and taken to the morgue.Initially, the navy had suspected it was an assassination attempt going by the deceased’s previous paranoia about assassination threats during his tenure as amember of the arms deal probe.However, after the police were invited and they did a sweep of the apartment and the scene of his death, preliminary investigations revealed that he had shot himself.

This story is not adding up..!! Something is missing somewhere.


Initially, the navy had suspected it was an assassination attempt going by the deceased’s previous paranoia about assassination threats during his tenure as a member of the arms deal probe.


How would someone who had raised an alarm of threat to his life now take it himself? To prove what point if I may ask?

That man was simply assassinated and the whole process cleaned out to avoid traces of the culprit

Maybe I watch too many Hollywood movies but I think people shoot themselves on the head when they want to commit suicide with a gun. So I think there is more to this story.

So first he had been complaining about assassination attempts, but you dismissed that simply as paranoia.

Then you say shots were fired at the TV and another location, before the final bullet made its way to his chest.

After all these glaring signs, you are quick to call it a suicide

What investigation did you carry out

I see no mention of prints or ballistic info, just "preliminary investigation".

In this Nigeria Where mug shots are done with paper and biro

Somebody tried killing himself and some of his shots missed his body? Interesting.

After the first shot, I doubt he would be able to shot a second time, even if he shot his finger. Another report says five shots.

Very interesting, how I do I want shot myself and you expect me to miss my target ?Let us wait and see the secondary investigation..

This doesn't seem like a suicide to me.

Where's the sense in a man shooting the wall and his tv set before shooting himself in the chest.

I'll rather go with assassination as the cause of death.

Of all the millions of spermatozoa your father released, I'm surprised that this inbred ret.ard was the first to make it.

Yorubaland is home to prosperity, peace, justice and progress. Your politicians steal your future and invest it in my region. The day you eventually make something out of your miserable life, you'll be able to afford renting a 2by2 chicken coop room in Okokomaiko.

This doesn't look suicidal. The police should intensify their investigation in the incident.

Sounds more like the Government of the day assassinated him.

How difficult would it be for them to investigate and clear themselves?

This is the real world not hollywood, people are not that stupid.
