In Ilorin, a police officer kills himself and a woman friend.

In Ilorin, the capital of Kwara State, a mobile police sergeant shot himself in the head after killing his alleged female acquaintance.

According to information obtained, the terrible incident that happened on Thursday took place on the grounds of the Chapel of Redemption, UMCA in Ilorin, which houses Redemption Model Nursery and Primary School.

The state police command reported that the MOPOL sergeant, whose name could not yet be confirmed as of publication, had been assigned to the Kwara State Government House in Ilorin as one of the security agents.

Residents and business owners in the area around the school said that the police officer had been pursuing his dead female companion around the school grounds for a while before to the shooting and killing on Thursday morning.

Additionally, he was reported to have gone to the deceased female friend’s family home in Erin Ile Road, Gaa Akanbi, a few days earlier, when he allegedly attacked the deceased woman with a cutlass due to an apparent misunderstanding between the two.

Also, it was learned that the deceased MOPOL sergeant arrived on the school grounds in his brand-new Toyota Corolla automobile a few minutes before his female acquaintance, who arrived with her daughter at a later time.

Tosin was the only name given to the deceased woman friend and mother.

According to reports, the policeman pulled out his AK-47 weapon and shot Tosin three times in the chest before she passed away instantly.

The MOPOL sergeant reportedly cocked the weapon once again, set the rifle on the ground, pointed it at his throat, and used his leg to pull the trigger just before his head was blasted off with the single shot, killing him instantly.
