Family Suspect Foul Play In The Alleged Murder Of Billionaire Lucky Adimike

Update on the Death of Chief Lucky Adimike STATEMENT FROM THE ADIMIKE FAMILY ON THE DEATH OF OUR BROTHER, LUCKY We, the Adimike family, are making this statement to explain what we currently know about the painful death of our brother, Lucky. Since Lucky’s death, we have not said much publicly because the family is still in shock. Many of us have been crying and struggling to accept what happened. We are also taking care of our aged mother, whose health has been seriously affected by the sudden death of her son. Our silence was not because we wanted to hide anything or mislead the public. We needed time to understand the situation and manage the information reaching the family. We now believe that it is necessary to speak clearly, correct some wrong stories, and ask for a full and fair investigation. How Lucky Was Found Lucky died during the night leading into the early hours of Friday morning. On Friday morning, Lucky’s driver came to the house and tried to call him, but Lucky did not answer his phone. The driver waited outside because he expected Lucky to come downstairs. After some time, Lucky’s wife called the driver and asked him to enter the house and check on her husband. The driver found this request unusual because he had worked for Lucky for a long time and had never entered Lucky’s private bedroom. We were told that Lucky’s son and daughter had gone out for work. After some time, the son returned and saw the driver waiting outside. The son also asked the driver to enter the house and check on his father. The driver was surprised by the request and refused to go inside alone. Lucky’s wife reportedly called again and asked him to enter the house. The driver then said that he would only go inside if the son went with him. The driver and the son entered the house together. According to the account given to the family, the son went to Lucky’s bedroom door and appeared to be trying the door handle without making a serious effort to open it. The son had earlier told the driver that his father did not normally lock his bedroom door. However, the son later brought a key and appeared to be trying to open the door with it. The exact events surrounding the opening of the door are matters that should be properly explained to the investigators. When the bedroom door was eventually opened, the driver saw Lucky lying dead in a pool of blood. The driver screamed and raised the alarm. His scream attracted the attention of neighbours. We were told that the son said his mother had instructed them to take Lucky to the hospital because Lucky had suffered from high blood pressure in the past. The driver refused and said that the police should be called because of the condition in which Lucky was found. The son reportedly continued to say that his mother wanted Lucky taken to the hospital. When the neighbours arrived, they also advised that the police should be contacted. After some time, the driver and the son left to report the matter. Instead of going directly to the Guzape Police Division, which covered the area where the incident happened, they went to the Asokoro Police Station. The officers at Asokoro reportedly directed them to the Guzape Police Division. By the time they returned to the house, a neighbour had already contacted the police, and officers were at the property. The police then began their investigation. Information Given to Our Family We were informed that there were no signs that anyone had forced their way into the house. No doors, windows, or locks were reported to have been broken. Based on the gateman’s account and the CCTV footage reviewed by the police, we were also informed that there was no clear evidence that an unknown person entered the compound during the period in which Lucky was believed to have been killed. We were told that a young woman, Miss Comfort Ajibade, visited the house at about midnight after returning from a club. Her presence and any information she may have should be properly examined by the investigators. We were also informed that bloodstains were found inside Lucky’s private car. According to the information given to the family, Lucky’s son drove the car out of the compound at about 2:30 a.m. and went to a club. When the police reportedly visited the club, they were told that the son had been there that night and appeared untidy, tense, and unsettled. This is information reportedly received during the investigation and should be confirmed by the police and relevant witnesses. The family was also informed that bloodstains found on the wall of the daughter’s bathroom matched Lucky’s blood. We asked whether anyone entered or left the compound during the night. We were told that the police examined CCTV footage from a nearby property. The footage reportedly showed Lucky’s son placing an object inside the car before asking the gateman to open the gate at about 2:30 a.m. The gateman was also said to have given a similar account. The family understands that the son had not p
