3 expended Bullet and houseboy only heard one gun shot...

I pity the poor houseboy. he may end up dead in prison or torture

Two possibilities

-it can be a suicide, if the two other bullet holes could be found in the lower part of the room, cos life arms can go off on its own when dropped. Hence its possible that after he shot himself, the gun fell to the ground and went off twice.

Or
Hired assassin first threatened him with two shots before shooting him on the chest. Besides the nobody would want to commit suicide with gun and point to his chest, its usually the head cos its more difficult pointing to chest.

Also the houseboy said he heard just one shot, they could have threatened the house boy not to say anything to cover up the murder.
If the Nigerian police are very good, they should conduct a thorough finger prints on the gun, walls and doors, and foot prints on the ground to know how many people were inside the room at the time he died.

My opinion would be inclined to a murder case cos of the 3 expended bullets, the houseboy hearing one shot. But God Knows best.
loved your outlines. but unfortunately, this is nigeria and the police may just rope the guy in

Thank you for your analysis.The only intelligent and serious nigerian. While the rest keep commenting nonsensical,you just took my opinions and painted it with gold ink. Thanks.

3 EXPENDED bullets found in his apartment NOT in his body.
there is the possibility that while struggling with death after he shot himself, his finger remain tight to the trigger thereby resulting in the release of the 3bullets apart from the one that entered his chest.
Read in-between lines before you conclud.


What is this one saying? Who shoots himself in the chest in a suicide?

Oh my God! shocked

I don't believe that this is suicide. It is a case of murder!

These newspapers should stop feeding us with lies of suicide! May be the newspapers have been paid handsomely to spread propaganda to cover up the murder. angry angry

Assasinated. It is almost impossible for a person to shoot himself thrice in a suicide attempt and the target of choice is usually the temple to make death quick and painless. The househelp should be thoroughly investigated as a possible abettor.

The houseboy go speak grammer tire.

This is one disadvantage of spouse staying apart. If he was depressed his wife would have helped him.

Not necessarily. Some wives are known to amplify tough situations. Anyway what is the wife doing in Abuja. Is that the place to be when your husband battles life threatening sickness. Sounds like the typical woman who is just in it for what she stands to gain. Abuja always holds attraction for such.

No way. The service pistol of a senior military officer will be the best the force has to offer. And will be in impeccable working condition. Anyway modern pistols just don't accidentally discharge. He was shot with his own gun. And it will have been an inside job.

HIV got from another woman.

HIV is no longer terminal and the stigma attached has receded. Cannot be a factor. I will have thought terminal cancer but this will have become very public knowledge. I think the investigation should start from the source of the leaked medical story as an attempted smoke screen.

there is absolutely NO way one can shot himself three times. meanwhile if it were to be a suicide the gunshot would been on the head and not the chest. thorough investigation sholud be carried out to unravel the deadly killers of a sincere and an upright regimental sailor

Sad

I just de imagine the kin big big slap the house boy go don collect cry


Suicide is becoming a normal thing in 9jaa

The Truth wud def surface

Suicide? With three bullets and all to the chest? As someone who has used firearms i would say this is highly unlikely. Unless 1. The gun was on full automatic and 2. The magazine was not full and 3. The deceased had unusual physical strength to take rounds and still be able to retain focus and grip!

Anyone who uses guns knows how to use a gun with the quickest result in such situation and it would not be to the chest.

I suspect that the crime scene was already muddied by the residents. It may be an assisted

I doubt suicide.

The Fleet Commander, Western Naval Command, Apapa, Lagos State, Rear Admiral Daniel Ikoli, has allegedly shot himself dead in his residence in the Apapa area.

It was learnt that a service pistol, expended and live ammunition, were recovered at the scene by police detectives who visited the residence.


It was gathered that he lived with his house boy. His wife stays in Abuja, while his children are schooling abroad.


PUNCH Metro gathered that the commander, a member of the presidential committee investigating the $15bn arms deal, left his office on Tuesday around 1pm, on the grounds that he was ill.

Around 5am on Wednesday, the house boy reportedly heard a gunshot from his room. On getting to the spot, he found him dead and raised the alarm.

A source close to Okoli disclosed to our correspondent that he had been managing depression and an ailment for some time, adding that it was not impossible that he committed suicide.

The source, however, did not disclose the nature of the ailment.

He said,
“He was Commander, Nigerian Navy Ship BEECROFT, and was later appointed into the presidential committee that probed the arms deal. He was very lively and intelligent.
“But for some time now, he had been battling an illness and had lost weight. He had also become reserved lately, which was unlike him. He usually complained about the high dollar rate and unavailability of foreign exchange because he had children studying abroad.
“He left the office on Tuesday afternoon after complaining that he was not feeling fine. I was shocked this morning when I learnt he shot himself.”

Another source stated that bullets hit Okoli on the chest and he bled to death, adding that three expended bullets were found in his apartment.
He said, “The house boy said he heard a gunshot and was alarmed. He later went into Okoli’s room and found him in a pool of blood. His wife is in Abuja and his children school abroad. His aides usually leave after taking him home from office.
“Three bullets were seen in the room. No one can really tell what happened.
“He was a nice and intelligent officer. He was the one who spearheaded the renovations of BEECROFT when he was the commander.”

However, an officer, who claimed to have worked with the commander, said he usually expressed worries about the possibility of assassins going after him as a result of his membership of the presidential committee.

A competent source disclosed to PUNCH Metro that 17 rounds of 9mm live ammunition and three expended shells were recovered at the scene.


“A CZ 999 Scorpion Pistol, B/no. 17111 was also found. No suicide note was found. His corpse has been deposited in the Nigeria Navy Reference Hospital,” the source added.

The spokesperson for the Western Naval Command, Lieutenant Commander Chinwe Umar, said in a statement tagged, ‘Domestic Accident Involving a Naval Officer,’ that the cause of Ikoli’s death had yet to be known, adding that the police had commenced investigation into the case.

The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Olarinde Famous-Cole, said investigation had commenced, adding that the deceased had been deposited in a mortuary for autopsy.
