Suspected assassins, yet to be identified, carried out a gruesome attack on Thursday, resulting in the tragic murder of Dr. David Adefikayo, the Medical Director of Dafikayo Clinic, at his residence in Kanbi, Moro Local Government Area of Kwara State.
Around 8:30 pm, the assailants entered Dr. Adefikayo’s home, despite his desperate pleas and offers of money or belongings, and fatally shot him in front of his horrified wife and children.
Adding to the family’s trauma, the gunmen abducted the deceased’s youngest daughter, a 16-year-old, before fleeing the scene.
As of now, the whereabouts of the abducted girl and the identities of the perpetrators remain unknown.
A close family source, preferring anonymity, described the harrowing incident, expressing deep shock and grief.
The community is also profoundly affected, mourning the loss of Dr. Adefikayo, a highly regarded individual who made significant contributions to local healthcare.
The Kwara State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Ejire Adetoun Adeyemi, was unavailable for comment at the time of this report, leaving critical details surrounding the incident unresolved.

No I blamed Nigeria army that allows this insecurities to be happening in Nigeria
This maybe a well coordinated hatchet job. For the assailants to refuse any monetary or any kind of material offer, means there’s more to it than meets the eye. Coupled with the kidnap of his daughter. The police should swing into action,to unravel the mystery sorrounding the entire thing
I don’t even understand this kind country we are anymore lack of insecurity
May God grant his family fortitude to bear the loss, government should be able to do something about insecurities in Nigeria.
All those one are from that town, any small thing on non gunmen, let them check their community…
