"It was discovered that he was shot on the head."

The Police spokesperson, who said that the Commissioner of Police, Mr. Tuesday Assayomo, has directed discreet investigation into the matter, added that, "I can tell you that investigation is on high gear. The shells of the bullet used in killing the deceased have been recovered and the corpse has been deposited at the UITH for postmortem.
