The Fleet Commander, Western Naval Command, Apapa, Lagos State, RearAdmiral Daniel Ikoli, allegedly shot himself dead in his residence in the Apapa area.

It was learnt that a service pistol, expended and live ammunition, were recovered at the scene by police detectives who visited the residence.

Close aides say the deceased had been depressed for a while over his inability to pay the school fees of his children due to scarcity of foreign exchange. 
His remains have been deposited at a mortuary. He is survived by his wife who is said to be residing in Abuja and two children.
