Oyo State Police Arrest Trio for Family Murder and Robbery
Three suspects, Hammed Akinbami, Akinbami Ojo, and Padonu Edward, were arrested by the Oyo State Police Command for the murder of Ifeanyi Chukwu, his wife, and their four children in Oloba Village, Lagelu Local Government Area, Ibadan. The incident occurred on 22 September 2026, and the suspects confessed to the crime after their arrest on 2 October 2026.
Hammed Akinbami stated that he led the attack due to a personal grievance over a damaged phone. Armed with a locally made Dane gun, cutlasses, and a club, they invaded the Chukwu residence, where they killed the family members and robbed them of ₦200,000, a Boxer motorcycle, a Doma machine with a chainsaw, and a spraying machine.
The suspects disposed of the bodies in a nearby river after tying two of the children. The police recovered several items from the scene, including the motorcycle and weapons used in the attack.
