The Ogun State police command has commenced investigation into the circumstances that led to the death of three residents in Egbe Subair area, Ijebu-Igbo, Ogun State.

According to a Facebook post by Ijebu Rewa on Wednesday, residents said earlier in the day that the deceased were a woman, her son, and a man popularly known as “Shanko”.

While the bodies of the man and the woman were found in the toilet, the corpse of the woman’s son was discovered in one of the rooms in the house.

Although the circumstances leading to their deaths had not been confirmed at the time of filing this report, residents who visited the scene alleged that a struggle may have occurred before the deaths, as parts of the toilet and other items within the premises were reportedly damaged.

The bodies have since been deposited in a morgue pending further investigation.

Spokesperson for the command, Oluseyi Babaseyi, confirmed the incident to Peoples Gazette, stating that investigation is ongoing to ascertain the circumstances that led to the deaths.

Mr Babaseyi said, “The Ogun State Police Command is investigating the tragic death of a couple and their four-year-old child discovered in their residence at Oke-Sopen, Ijebu-Igbo, on June 10, 2026. Investigation is ongoing while the bodies have been deposited at the General Hospital Mortuary, Ijebu-Igbo.”
