The Edo state Assistant Commissioner of police Osakue has committed suicide inside his private residence in Upper Sokponba area of Benin City, Edo state. He was alleged to have shot himself in
the head with his service pistol on Wednesday. A neighbour said she heard gunshots inside the ACP residence about 5pm on the fateful day, adding that thereafter, silence engulfed the entire building until his wife later broke the silence with a sorrowful scream. She disclosed that operatives of Ugbekun Police Division later stormed the residence. The ACP family members could not be reached for comment but information obtained at the Edo State Police Command headquarters in Benin-City revealed that Osakue was posted from Ondo State police command recently. Confirming the incident, Edo State Commissioner of Police, Mr Haliru Gwandu, said that it was a case of suicide. He explained that the pistol the late police officer used to commit the act was signed for in Ondo State Police Command from where he was recently posted to Edo Police Command.
