Father of Three Gunned Down Near Home in Osogbo, Family Left in Mourning

A family in Osogbo, Osun State, is grieving the sudden loss of a husband and father after Mr. Yomi David Akanji was reportedly shot dead just a few metres from his residence in the Olude area.

According to a Facebook post by Hon. Asp Seyi, the deceased, described as a member of the Accord Party and a father of three, was allegedly attacked by suspected political thugs late Friday night.

The post claimed that Mr. Akanji was driving home when his assailants ambushed him. Trapped inside his vehicle, he was reportedly unable to escape before he was shot.

For his wife and three children, the attack has turned what should have been another ordinary night into a lifetime of pain. A father who left home has now become another victim of Nigeria’s recurring cycle of violence, leaving behind unanswered questions and a family forced to cope with an irreplaceable loss.

Hon. Asp Seyi condemned the killing and called on the Nigeria Police Force, particularly the Osun State Police Command, to identify and arrest those responsible for what he described as a “dastardly act.”

As of the time of this report, the Osun State Police Command has not issued an official statement confirming the incident or the motive behind the attack.

If confirmed, the killing will once again raise concerns about political violence and insecurity, especially when attacks occur within residential communities where citizens should feel safest.

Authorities are expected to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident and determine those responsible. Until then, the family of Yomi David Akanji is left with the painful task of mourning a husband and father whose life was cut short just steps away from home.
