Tragedy struck in Lagos as SP Mojeed Salami, the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Seme Police Division in the state, died in shocking circumstances.

It was gathered that he slumped and died in his office on Tuesday, January 10.

According to Police sources, Salami had complained of headache on Tuesday and had visited the hospital. He was said to have returned from the hospital and still felt unwell. He thereafter 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 in the process of the orderly returning that he met Salami on the floor gasping for breath. He was then rushed to the Badagry General Hospital where he was confirmed dead.

The spokesperson of the state police command, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, while confirming the passing said:

“He died on Tuesday. 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 afterward.”
