A gruesome triple murder shocked the Apata area of Ibadan on March 20, 2023, when unknown gunmen stormed the Gbekuba residence of Mr. Lasisi Afolabi, a well-known prominent member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Afolabi, his wife, Mrs. Mojisola Afolabi, and their son, Monday, were brutally killed in the attack.
On the fateful day, Mr. Oludayo, one of the deceased’s sons, discovered his family in a pool of blood and began shouting for help. Upon witnessing the incident, he immediately went to report the matter but sustained injuries due to tear gas exposure.
PDP members informed the press about the killing, notifying that one of their party members had been murdered.
Since the incident, the lives of Mr. Oludayo and his wife, Mrs. Oyinkansola, have been under constant threat.
The couple has since gone missing, and residents of the neighbourhood have been unable to trace their whereabouts.
Despite efforts by reporters to locate them, the whereabouts of Oludayo and Oyinkansola remain unknown.
The incident has sent shockwaves through the community, with many calling for increased security measures to protect residents.
The motives behind the attack and the identities of the perpetrators are still unknown.
