The Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Seme Police Division, Lagos State Police command, Mojeed Salami, is reported dead.
Reports further said SP Salami collapsed in his office on Tuesday, January 10, and was confirmed dead at the hospital where he was rushed to.
The deceased was said to have complained of headache on the fateful day, following which he reportedly visited the hospital.
He returned but was still feeling unwell. He asked his orderly to tell the Divisional Crime Officer (DCO) to come to his office, as he wanted to leave, but not without handing over official proceedings to the DCO.
It was reported that the orderly returned to meet Salami on the floor gasping for breath. He was rushed to the Badagry General Hospital, where he was confirmed dead.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Lagos State Police Command, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed Salami’s death, saying: “We regret to announce the death (while in service) of SP Salami Mojeed, DPO Seme Division, which occurred on Tuesday, January 10, 2023, following a brief illness.
“It was shocking to everybody because there was nothing serious about his health. They said he just complained about a minor headache, went to the hospital, came back, commenced work and died shortly afterwards. May Allah grant him aljannah firdaus. Amin,” the Police spokesman said.
Meanwhile, the deceased has since been buried in his hometown of Ede, Osun State.
