A police inspector identified as Haruna Mohammed has been found dead in a hotel room in Ogun state.
Gatekeepers News reports that Omolola Odutola, the spokesperson of the command, confirmed the incident.
The officer who was attached to Ishashi police division in Lagos, reportedly checked into Super G Royal Hotel at Anthony Uzum Estate, Oyeyemi Akute, around 1 a.m. on Saturday with an unidentified woman.
About 8:52 am, Deborah Adejobi, the hotel manager noticed that the room door was left open and found the officer unresponsive, with the woman missing.
The hotel owner, Abiodun Olagunju who reported the incident to the authorities, noted that the woman had briefly visited the reception at about 6 a.m. to request a bottle of water before disappearing.
Mohammed’s body has been taken to Life Channel Mortuary in the Olambe area of Akute.
Odutola said, “At first, it was 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 the Ishashi division in the Lagos command.”
“The DPO has been contacted and his body identified.”
Odutola noted that operatives of the command have launched a manhunt for the fleeing lady, while an investigation is ongoing to unravel the cause of his death.
