Rear Admiral Ikoli did not commit suicide, he was assassinated- Navy officers say

Naval Officers who worked with the Fleet Commander, Western Naval Command (WNC), Rear Admiral Daniel Ikoli, who was found dead at his Apapa, Lagos residence on Wednesday April 5th(Read here), say contrary to reports, the deceased did not kill himself.

According to the officers who spoke to NAN on condition of anonymity, Ikoli who has been tipped to become the next Chief of Naval Staff, was assassinated.
The source said Ikoli who lived alone as his wife lived in Abuja and children live abroad, say there is a mystery surrounding Ikoli's death.

"At the close of work, he usually allows his aides to go home and stay with their families. In most cases, he will be the one to open the gate of his residence for visitors using a remote control. The officer would not have killed himself. It is pure case of assassination. There is a mystery surrounding his death. For instance, the two ambulances they brought to take him to the mortuary refused to move. It was when they brought his service car and transferred the body into it that they were able to take his corpse to the morgue’’ he said
Another souce who spoke on condition of anonymity said the deceased was a disciplined officer who was loved by many.
“Ikoli was a disciplined, gentle, straightforward and honest man, who had no regard for protocol. It is nothing but a murder case. Ikoli transformed the place by introducing smart I.D. cards and increasing special duty allowance from N4, 000 to N12, 000. Everybody is aware that he was an introvert, but he made sure that things worked properly and he had respect for all and zero tolerance for corruption. He really complimented President Buhari on his anti-corruption war and I think that was why he was appointed to serve on the arms deal probe panel. His elevation as the next Chief of Naval Staff would have been announced if not for the president’s trip to London for medical checkup.’’

It is a big shame and disgrace to Nigeria that it's high ranking officer lost his life in this manner.what is the plight of a common man if they can't even protect a Rear Admiral in his home?

Again, it shows you what a ridiculous country we all call home. absolute disgrace!

VERY SIMPLE CASE. PICK UP EVERYONE INVOLVED IN THE ARMS CASE AND THE OTHER OFFICERS NEXT IN LINE FOR PROMOTION TO CHIEF OF NAVAL STAFF. THE KILLER WILL BE AMONG THEM.

The Nigerian navy and the whole security dept in Nigeria should do the nation and humanity a favour by working hard to fish out the perpetrators of this inhuman act, other wise, the integrity of security of this country will continue to be questioned.

When Colonel Anthony Okenim who was a Commandant, Command Secondary School Apata Ibadan was murdered, I said it that it was an assassination by the Hausa Fulani cabals who are bent of securing every top Military positions in this country simply because the Col. was promoted to the rank of Brigadier. Six innocent boys were set up and used to close the case with the help of the media.

When I got the news of Rear Admiral Daniel Ikoli's demise and it was termed suicide, my instincts told me again that these evil cabals have struck again. I tried to make sense of the motive behind his assassination little did I know he was tipped to be next Chief of Naval Staff.

Nigerians should be mindful of their evil agenda. Rear Admiral Daniel Ikoli and Colonel Anthony Okeyim were assassinated by the same born to rule mentality bigots.

You don't attain such level of power and become carefree about your security. He didn't pay attention to securing his life giving the sensitivity of the arms probe committee(presidency) in which he was a member..

You will be shocked these two men you mentioned, were murdered by their kind.Forget the murderous brigandage by alleged fulani marauders.That is pure banditry that our law enforcement has failed to deal with due to a lack of commitment. An average Hausa-fulani will not murder you cos of position or opportunity. They are very philosophical & deeply religious about this. They believe if God didn't will you to be ahead of them,you won't be there.How many assassinations have you ever heard of,in the entire north?
