Dogara Akolo-Moses, a police constable attached to Mada Station Division of Nasarawa command of the Nigerian Police Force, has sh0t himself dead.
DailyTrust reports that the deceased was seen going about his duty in Nasarawa Eggon local government area where the division is located, the day he took his life.
A witness said the officer went into a private room and sh0t himself and the sound of the gun attracted all officers on duty who rushed to the scene but met the deceased lying in the pool of his blood.
