Police sergeant kills lover, self in Kwara
A police sergeant in Ilorin, the capital of Kwara state, has killed his female lover and committed suicide in a school.

It was said that the incident happened around 8 a.m. on Thursday at the Chapel of Redemption in the Agba Dam Housing Estate in Gaa Akanbi, Ilorin, where the Redemption Model Nursery and Primary School is.

The MOPOL sergeant was named Olalere Michael, a member of the 15 PMF in Ilorin.

He also worked as a security agent for the police command at the Kwara state government house in Ilorin.

People in the neighbourhood told journalists that the dead police officer followed the woman to the school, where she dropped off her daughter and started shooting.

“The officer entered the school premises about a few minutes before 8:00 in his Toyota Corolla car earlier than his female friend who brought her daughter to the school.

“He brought out his AK-47 rifle and shot Tosin in the chest three times at the close range, and she died on the spot. A friend that accompanied her to the school ran away.

A local told journalists, “He thereafter shot himself in the throat which blew off some part of his head.”

Residents said that he went to the family home of the woman he killed on Erin Ile Road in Gaa Akanbi a few days ago and attacked her with a cutlass because of an unresolved problem.

Her older sister, still inconsolable, could not speak to reporters when they visited the deceased’s home.

She told the newsmen, “I can say anything now please.”

Okasanmi Ajayi, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), said that the incident was the “aftermath of love gone sour” and had nothing to do with police brutality.

Okasanmi said, “Immediately after the information got to the command, the Commissioner of Police, Paul Odama, dispatched a team of policemen and detectives to the scene, where the corpses were recovered and deposited at the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, where the bodies were certified dead.

“Meanwhile, the investigation of this unfortunate incident is in progress, and the report of the investigation will be made public as soon as it is ready.”
