Confirming the incident, Ogun State Police Command spokesperson Omolola Odutola said: “At first, it was the uniform found in his bag, so it was not possible to say he is a police officer. There was no identification card on him or his belongings.
“But further investigation revealed that the deceased is an Inspector of police serving with Ishashi division in Lagos command.
“The DPO has been contacted and his body identified.”
Odutola said operatives of the command had launched a manhunt for the fleeing lady while the investigation is ongoing to unravel circumstances surrounding his death.
