    He then drove himself and his deceased girlfriend to a location close to NASFAT Islamic Centre along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, where he committed suicide by ingesting insecticide.

    It is said that they had been there for days before the stench oozing from the car caught the attention of locals.

    The Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi, confirmed the incident on Wednesday, March 2.

    Speaking with DailyPost, Oyeyemi said: “The two did not die while having sex. What happened was that the girl in question happened to be a girlfriend to that man. He rented an apartment for her somewhere in Lagos. He went there to visit her. We don’t know what transpired between them, but we learnt he hit the woman on the head and she slumped.

    “He carried the lifeless body of the woman in his vehicle. People in that neighbourhood ran to Ilaje police station in Bariga to report. But he drove off, straight to his house at Orimerunmu. He dropped a suicide note, informing his wife that he had killed somebody. He told his wife not to bother looking for him, asking her to take care of the children. Then he left the house.

    “He drove and parked near NASFAT area and he committed suicide there. We saw a container of Sniper in the vehicle, which suggested that he drank Sniper (an insecticide). He wound up the glasses and died in the vehicle. So, it is a case of murder and suicide.”

    A yet-to-be-identified commercial bus driver on Tuesday set himself ablaze in the Ajao Estate area of Lagos State.

    A resident, who gave his name as Aliu, said there was resistance between the aggrieved drivers and the task force operatives during the enforcement.

    He said, “Task force operatives went to clean up the Airport shuttle area. During the exercise, they impounded some buses and had a face-off with some of the drivers. At a point, one of the frustrated drivers poured petrol on himself and set himself ablaze.”

    “The driver was frustrated. The task force operatives took the impounded vehicles away,” she added.

     

    The state Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Adekunle Ajisebutu, said the state Commissioner of Police, Abiodun Alabi, had ordered an investigation into the incident.

    He said, “The information we got was that there was resistance when task force from the ministry of transportation went for enforcement. No policeman set any vehicle ablaze; policemen attached to the Ajao Estate Police Division were not involved in what happened. However, the Commissioner of Police has ordered investigation into the incident.”

    A spokesperson for the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation and Special Offences Unit, Raheem Gbadeyinka, said no officer of the agency was involved in the operation.

    He said, “The incident happened around 5am and as of 8am, our men were still at the office because we were looking for fuel for our patrol vans as of that time.”

  • Ex-Deputy Speaker shoots self dead inside parliament building

    Ex-Deputy Speaker shoots self dead inside parliament building

    A former deputy speaker in Malawi on Thursday shot himself in the head inside parliament, where he had gone for a meeting, parliament said.

    Clement Chiwaya, who was 50, killed himself inside the parliament building, where he had gone to discuss vehicle benefits entitled to him when he left office in 2019.

    Police spokesperson James Kadadzera confirmed the incident but refused to give details until he had received a full report from investigators.

    Parliament “regrets to inform the public that the former deputy speaker… committed suicide at the parliament building,” it said in a statement.

    It said the incident was linked to “frustration with the implementation of his conditions of service.”

    Chiwaya bought his official vehicle at the end of his five-year term in 2019, as provided for in his contract.

    But he had tried to get parliament to pay for damages incurred in an accident that happened six months later.

    He took the case to court. The legal process is still pending.

    The statement from parliament appeared to suggest that Chiwaya, who moved in a wheelchair, had sneaked a gun into the high-security building.

    “Having been a person with a disability, the (security) scanner alerts were deemed to be from the wheelchair,” it said.

    A source at parliament said Chiwaya shot himself in the head inside the office of the clerk of parliament, Fiona Kalembera.

    Before he became deputy speaker, he served as a member of parliament from 2004.
