ACT OF INDISCIPLINE : RETIRED POLICE OFFICER SHOT HIMSELF AND WIFE TO DEATH

Sunday Isokpehi, 60, a retired Assistant Superintendent of Police has shot himself and his 40-year-old wife, Gladys, to death, Ogun State Police Command disclosed.

Contrary to reports that late Isokpehi was a retired Assistant Commissioner of Police, Isokpehi retired as Assistant Superintendent of Police, and he did not kill his son.

The Ogun state Police Command Police Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, revealed that they will unravel the circumstance that prompted the action. 

“We are still investigating the immediate and remote causes of the tragic incident. We will find out whether the man was depressed or was under any influence, because a normal human being will not open fire on his wife and then kill himself.

“We will investigate how he got the double-barrelled gun he used to commit the dastardly act.”Adejobi said.

The late Isokpehi was reported to have shot his wife to death on Saturday after returning to their home in Ota area of the state. He had accused her of being drunk, when he shot her, and shortly after killed himself.

Isokpehi retired in March from the Special Anti-Robbery Squad unit, Lagos Police Command, and was living in Eledi area in Ado Odo/Ota Local Government.
