A police constable attached to the Mada Station Division of the Nasarawa Command of the Nigerian Police Force has tragically taken his own life.
The officer, identified as Dogara Akolo-Moses, had been fulfilling his duties in the Nasarawa Eggon local government area on the day he ended his life.
A witness reported that the officer entered a private room and shot himself. The sound of the gunfire drew the attention of his colleagues on duty, who rushed to the scene, only to find him lying in a pool of his own blood.
“Colleagues of the deceased, who were outside the apartment, heard the gunshot and quickly entered, discovering the officer on the floor with his firearm beside him,” a source stated.
The motives behind this tragic act remain unclear at the time of this report.
Confirming the incident to journalists in Lafia, the capital of Nasarawa State, on Wednesday, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) of the Nasarawa State Command, Ramhan Nansel, stated that an investigation is underway to ascertain the reasons behind the officer’s distressing actions.
