A Nigerian billionaire businessman has been brutally killed in his mansion in the capital city of Abuja.
Social media reports say that Chief Godwin Chinedu Lucky Adimike, popularly known as “Egonaejeije Na Awka-Etiti”, was stabbed to death by his 19–20-year-old son after a heated argument.
The 53-year-old business mogul, said to be a big player in the famous Alaba International Market, Lagos, hailed from Awka-Etiti in Idemili South local government area of Anambra State. His obituary poster sighted by News Express indicates that he was killed last week, specifically on Friday, May 15, 2026.
According to an Instagram post by someone going by the name md_olivia199, “The death of Godwin Chinedu Lucky Adimike, popularly known as “Egonaejeije Na Awka-Etiti,” has left many people in deep shock and mourning. A man widely known for his generosity, kindness, and support for the less privileged, whose name echoed across Awka-Etiti and beyond because of his philanthropic lifestyle, sadly met a painful and heartbreaking end allegedly in the hands of his own son. Reports say the respected businessman and philanthropist was allegedly stabbed to death by his 19–20-year-old son after a heated argument.
“According to reports, the ugly incident happened in Abuja after a misunderstanding reportedly linked to money and family business issues. Sources alleged that the young man, who was said to be serving under the NYSC scheme, confronted his father over financial matters before the argument escalated into violence. The late philanthropist was reportedly stabbed multiple times and later confirmed dead at the hospital. The suspect is currently in police custody while investigations continue.
“What an abomination and a painful tragedy indeed. A man known for helping widows, supporting the church, empowering people, and touching lives positively did not deserve such an ending. Many people who knew him described him as a humble and cheerful giver whose doors were always open to the needy. During the COVID-19 period, he reportedly distributed food items and cash worth millions to members of his community in Awka-Etiti, showing his heart for humanity and the welfare of others.
“This heartbreaking incident is a reminder that anger, lack of self-control, and family conflicts can destroy lives within seconds. It is also a painful lesson that wealth, fame, and influence cannot replace peace at home. The entire Awka-Etiti community, friends, business associates, and loved ones are mourning the fall of a great iroko tree.”
The National Leader of the Nigerian Democratic Congress, NDC, Senator Seriake Dickson, on Friday held a closed-door meeting with the party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, amid recent crises in the party.
Dickson made this known in a statement on his official X handle, revealing that the meeting, which lasted nearly three hours, was attended by Obi and other senior party leaders.
“I just received my brother, colleague, and partner in the New Nigerian Project, His Excellency Mr Peter Gregory Obi, CON, our presidential candidate, who, together with some distinguished leaders of our party, held a closed-door meeting which lasted about three hours.
“In the course of that meeting, we reviewed the activities of our party and discussed a few recent issues that have been a source of concern to all sides, and we amicably resolved all the issues.
“We have always been on the same page on the bigger picture, i.e., winning the elections for all candidates of our party and rescuing Nigeria from the misgovernance of the APC-led government. However, a few issues have arisen, and we have agreed on how to handle them moving forward.
“I want to use this opportunity again to call on all members of our party to stop the bickering and name-calling and focus on the bigger picture.
“Both His Excellency Peter Obi and I, as well as other leaders and stakeholders of our party, will continue to consult and engage with one another to address and resolve concerns, strengthen the unity and cohesion of our party, and ensure that we remain focused on our shared mission of rescuing Nigeria and building a better future for all.”
Human rights activist and former presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, has reportedly collapsed and was subsequently taken to a hospital following a confrontation with the Nigerian police during a Democracy Day protest.
Witnesses at the scene alleged that Sowore collapsed after police operatives moved to disperse protesters gathered to demonstrate against insecurity, economic hardship and what they described as poor governance, at the Phase 1 Bridge before Federal Secretariate.
The protest, which attracted scores of activists and civil society groups, was disrupted after security personnel deployed tear gas canisters in an apparent attempt to break up the gathering.
It was reported that chaos erupted as protesters scampered for safety amid clouds of tear gas. In the confusion, Sowore was reportedly affected by the tear gas and subsequently lost consciousness.
Supporters and fellow activists immediately rushed to his aid and evacuated him from the protest ground. Sources close to the activist said he regained consciousness while being transported away from the scene in a vehicle.
Following the incident, Sowore has now been reportedly taken to an undisclosed hospital for further examination and treatment.
The incident heightened tensions at the Democracy Day protest, where demonstrators had gathered to express concerns over rising insecurity, economic challenges and governance issues in the country.
