Armed robbers have killed Mr. Ojo Mogbadewa Peters, publisher of Daily Monitor, in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital. Peters, whose death was first announced on the Oyo State Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) platform on Sunday, September 7, 2025, was earlier believed to have died of typhoid fever. However, investigations later revealed that he was a victim of a robbery attack around Molete, Ibadan, on August 18, 2025. A discreet probe by National Insight, corroborated by family sources, confirmed that the journalist was killed by a notorious “one-chance” robbery gang operating along the Oke Ado–Molete axis of the city. According to his younger brother, Mr. Peter Enahoro, the deceased was attacked around 2 p.m. on August 18, shortly after leaving a bank in Oke Ado. “On that same day that he was shot, I got a call from a police officer at Orita Challenge that our brother was at their station. But upon getting there, I was told he had been shot by a notorious armed robber operating with a motorcycle,” Enahoro said. Family members disclosed that the assailants accosted Peters as he stepped out of the bank, snatched his bag, and shot him from behind before escaping on a motorcycle. He later died from the gunshot wounds and has since been buried. A police source at Challenge Division confirmed the incident, adding that investigations are ongoing.
