A police man identified as Inspector Abraham Arowogun attached to the Kajola Divisional police station, Kajola town in Odigbo Local Government Area of Ondo State, committed suicide by jumping into a deep well at the police station.
The incident which occurred on Tuesday 22 August, 2017 is still mysterious to the other police officers at the divisional police station as well as the community.
A police source said Arowogun never suffered from any insanity. According to the source, the deceased before his death had earlier shot one of his senior colleaque, Supol Timothy Aruehi dead. Arowogun shot Aruehi who was the Divisional Crime Officer,(DCO)following a disagreement that ensued between them on the issue of money. The source explained,"There was an issue that happened between the two officers. Arowogun was investigating a case and the DCO, discovered that a sum of #150,000 was involved in the case he (Arowogun) was investigating and that Arowogun actually coveted the money. In the course of interrogating him, he stepped out angrily and returned with a gun and shot Timothy (DCO).
The police source,added that after killing the DCO, other police officers at that time fled for safety. Knowing that what he did was unprofessional and unpardonable in the police force, he left the scene and jumped into a well at the back of the police station.
The source reports that the corpses of the two officers have been deposited at the mortuary in Ondo General Hospital, Ore. When contacted, the PRO of the police Command Mr.Femi Joseph, while briefing newsmen in Akure, on Wednesday 23 August,2017 confirmed the incident and said the Command had commenced investigations into the matter.
