The FCT Police Command has arraigned two children of Anambra multi-billionaire businessman, Lucky Adimike, alongside a third suspect, in connection with his murder in Guzape, Abuja.
The suspects arraigned before FCT High Court 13 on Monday are Adimike Odirachukwu Anthony, Adimike Chinyere Stephany, and Comfort Ajibade. The first two are children of the deceased.
According to a statement signed by the FCT Police Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, the incident occurred on 15th May 2026. Police said a distress call was received at Guzape Divisional Headquarters from a relative who reported that the businessman was unresponsive.
“Police detectives promptly responded to the scene and found him lying unconscious in his room with multiple stab wounds. He was immediately rushed to Karu General Hospital, where he was confirmed dead by medical personnel on duty,” the statement said.
The Commissioner of Police, FCT Command, CP Ahmed Muhammed Sanusi, PhD, FCAI, ordered a discreet investigation. Five persons were initially arrested, including the deceased’s driver and gateman.
At the conclusion of investigations, three persons were charged to court.
The suspects face a four-count charge bordering on criminal conspiracy to commit culpable homicide, culpable homicide, and offences under the Same Sex Marriage (Prohibition) Act.
Specifically, all three were jointly charged with conspiracy and culpable homicide in relation to the death of Adimike Godwin.
In addition, Adimike Odirachukwu Anthony was separately charged with entering into a same-sex civil union. Adimike Chinyere Stephany and Comfort Ajibade were jointly charged with the same offence under the Same Sex Marriage (Prohibition) Act.
The court adjourned the matter to 30th September 2026 for further proceedings and ordered that the defendants be remanded at Suleja Correctional Centre pending hearing.
