Another serving police inspector has reportedly committed suicide following his arrest over alleged involvement in supplying arms and ammunition to bandits and other criminals in Niger State.
The development comes barely a week after DSP Isah Abdullahi, Officer in Charge of Mopol 12 Armoury at the B Division of the police command on Paikoro Road, Minna, also took his own life while under investigation for similar allegations.
The latest victim, identified as Inspector John Moses, an indigene of Shiroro Local Government Area, was arrested and detained after being implicated in the network of individuals involved in the illicit arms trade.
Reports indicate that Moses allegedly confessed to using his brother as an intermediary in the supply chain.
