The deceased, identified as Kila Jima, was said to have suddenly cocked his rifle and shot himself in the head on Saturday.

Jima, who was alleged to have overstayed in the theatre of operation coupled with an alleged poor welfare and ill treatments from senior officers, was said to have shown some signs of depression before he eventually took his life.
