By the time I got to the hospital, he had been placed on oxygen.

But he gave up in the middle of the night before they could even provide the result of the tests.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cBut as we prepared to move his corpse, we were told to wait for the outcome of the tests so as to know what to write on his death certificate.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWhen the result came out, it was stated that his death had to do with his sugar level and high blood pressure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Punch correspondent gathered that the late policeman\u2019s corpse had been taken to his home town in Kogi State to perfect his burial rites.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-8080026755787218\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block; text-align: center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8080026755787218\" data-ad-slot=\"7193833156\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The family of an Inspector serving with the Ago Palace Police Division of the Lagos State Police Command,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[1337,34,300],"class_list":{"0":"post-4322","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-news","7":"tag-jeremiah-omaga","8":"tag-kogi","9":"tag-lagos"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.5 -
