The Ondo State Police Command has launched an investigation after a 28-year-old man, Femi Agbeye, allegedly killed two of his female siblings and his five-year-old daughter in Okitipupa.

The incident occurred on April 8 at the family residence in the Government Reserved Area, where the suspect reportedly forced his way into the apartment, locked himself inside, and carried out the attack.

The suspect’s father, Ade Agbeye, alleged that his son had a history of substance abuse and had previously threatened violence against family members.

He also claimed the suspect had earlier been arrested but was released before the fatal incident.

Residents said the suspect was seen forcing entry into the apartment before the attack took place.

The Police Public Relations Officer, Jimoh Abayomi, confirmed the incident and assured that investigations are ongoing.

He stated that the command would ensure justice is served and urged residents not to panic as authorities handle the case.
