“On Tuesday, 7th April 2026, at about 0138hrs, the suspect stabbed five people. Two of them, Gbadamasi Ibrahim ‘M’, aged 25, and Chinedu ‘M’, aged 40, died while being taken to the hospital,” the spokesman of the Ogun State Command said in a statement.

“A doctor confirmed their deaths. The other three victims, Mohammed Abubakar ‘M’, aged 35; Ashiru Adamu ‘M’, aged 25; and Paul Lawrence ‘M’, aged 25, are in critical condition but responding to treatment,” he said
