Nigeria, July 24 -- A correctional officer serving at the Kogi State Correctional Facility has reportedly taken his own life.

According to reports, the officer consumed a toxic substance, believed to be Sniper, and died in a hotel near the Baptist Church in Lokoja.

This development comes shortly after reports on the tragic murder of Ayo, a photojournalist from Kogi State.

Ayo was allegedly killed by a neighbour, who is said to be the same correctional officer. His body was dismembered, and the remains were found stuffed in a freezer in Lokoja.
