He shot himself in the chest in his residence in Apapa GRA, Lagos, after firing two previous shots that hit the wall and the television set in his house.

His house in Apapa, when visited was as quiet as a grave yard, as no soul was found there, although some of his neighbours said his body had since been removed and taken to the morgue.
Initially, the navy had suspected it was an assassination attempt going by the deceased’s previous paranoia about assassination threats during his tenure as amember of the arms deal probe.
However, after the police were invited and they did a sweep of the apartment and the scene of his death, preliminary investigations revealed that he had shot himself.
