Oloko, who is attached to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, Ikeja, had returned home and had started to undress, while trying to remove his pistol from the holster, the gun went off and hit his wife who was sitting on the bed on her lap, Punch Metro gathered.
 
Oloko and some neighbours who heard the gunshot rushed the woman to a nearby hospital, but she reportedly died before they got to the hospital.
 
According to a police source, the matter was a case of an accidental discharge.
 
He said: “It was a case of an accidental discharge. The police corporal was not careful in removing his pistol from the holster. When he got home on that evening, his wife welcomed him and they went to the bedroom.
 
“As he was undressing, he removed the gun and wanted to place it on the bed when it discharged. The bullet hit the wife’s lap. He was the one that rushed his wife to the hospital. She died before they got to the hospital.
 
He was thereafter arrested and detained in the Ikeja Police Division although the incident happened in Egbeda.”
 
The Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Joe Offor, confirmed the arrest.
 
He said:“The policeman has been arrested, and handed over to the Deputy Commissioner of Police, SCID, for investigation. The incident involved him and his wife. It was a sort of a discharge rather than a fight.

Lightning bolts striking through the sky have killed up to 107 persons who are mostly rural dwellers.   Cambodian National Committee for Disaster Management, said 107 Cambodians, mostly rural dwellers, had been killed by lightning strikes in 2015, up 42.6 percent from the 75 deaths in 2014. Keo Vy, Spokesman for the Management, said on Tuesday in Phnom Penh that besides the fatalities, thunderbolts had injured 77 others last year, up 35 per cent from the 57 injuries in a year earlier. He said the casualties rose because torrential rains with thunder, lightning and strong wind had happened more often last year. Vy said lightning strikes occur every year in Cambodia, particularly in rainy season from May through October. He advised that to avoid the dangers from lightning strikes, people should stay in homes or shelters when there are strong rains.
