There was tragedy yesterday at the ongoing promotional examination of policemen to the rank of Sergeants and Inspectors at the police College, Ikeja, Lagos as a Police Sergeant attached to the Oyo State Police Command slumped and died.
The sergeant, who was identified as Lekan, reportedly wrote the promotional examination with his other colleagues between Wednesday and Friday last week.
It was gathered that officers who passed the examination were expected to undergo an assessment exercise with a team of senior Police officers headed by an Assistant Inspector General of Police.
Before the assessment, the policemen reportedly assembled in a syndicate of 50 on the parade ground, awaiting their turn. But the situation took a tragic dimension when Sergeant Lekan, who was to be promoted to the rank of Inspector, reportedly slumped at about 1pm. Members of his syndicate were said to have tried all they could to resuscitate him, to no avail.
A doctor said to have arrived the scene informed the policemen, who were already in a confused state that their colleague, Lekan has kicked the bucket.
His colleagues were still in a state of shock when an ambulance from the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, LASUTH, arrived the scene and took away the corpse to a mortuary. The shocking situation however, did not stop the other policemen from continuing with their assessment exercise as the promotional examination continued.
