Sunday, February 16, 2025 - One Inspector Haruna Mohammed serving with the Ishashi division of the Lagos State police has been found dead in a hotel room in Ogun State.
The inspector arrived with a woman at the hotel, at about 1am on
Saturday.
The hotel manager, Deborah Adejobi reportedly found their room unlocked
at about 8:52 am, and on checking inside, discovered the officer lying lifeless
while the woman was nowhere to be found.

owner, Abiodun Olagunju, reported the incident to the command adding that, the
fleeing woman had earlier visited the reception at about 6:00 am to request
table water.
His body has been deposited at Life Channel Mortuary in Olambe.
Confirming the incident on Sunday, the spokesperson of the Ogun State
Police Command, Omolola Odutola said, the deceased was found without an
identification card, making it difficult to identify him.
Odutola stated that his body was later identified by the DPO of the
Ishashi command.
She said, “ At first it was just the uniform found in his bag, so it was
not possible to say he is a police officer. There was no identification card on
him or his belongings.
“ But further investigation revealed that the deceased is an Inspector
of police serving with Ishashi division in Lagos command.
“The Dpo have been contacted and his body identified”.
She noted that a manhunt for the fleeing lady has begun, and an
investigation is ongoing to unravel the incident surrounding his death.
