Mrs Joy Azuka, 28, and Mrs Favour Azuka, 34, staged a protest at the Edo State Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists on October 30, 2026, alleging the killing took place on November 4, 2024. Mr Azuka, a bricklayer, was reportedly attacked by armed men while preparing to bury his father-in-law. The widows accuse armed men allegedly loyal to Uyi Igiebor of being responsible for the killings and called on Governor Monday Okpebholo to intervene in the matter. The widows' children, aged 6 and 7, have since stopped attending school due to the tragedy. The Special Adviser on Security to the Edo Governor, Paul Akhere, confirmed that Uyi Igiebor had been arrested, but stated that the suspect denied involvement in the killings.",
