As of the time of filing this report, the police had not publicly disclosed whether any suspect had been arrested or established the motive behind the attack.

The incident has renewed concerns about street violence in Ibadan and the danger of confrontations escalating into fatal attacks.

Three homeless men have been shot dead by unidentified assailants while sleeping at the Post Office Bus Stop on Adeola Odeku Street in the Victoria Island area of Lagos State.

The victims were reportedly among about 10 homeless persons who regularly sleep at the bus stop when two unidentified men riding power bikes arrived and attacked them.

The incident occurred on Sunday morning, November 1, 2026, triggering police investigations after a concerned resident alerted security operatives to the discovery of the bodies.

According to a report by PUNCH, a police source in the community said an anti-crime patrol team was immediately deployed to the scene following the report.

The officers reportedly found the three men lying lifeless in pools of blood and commenced preliminary investigations, including enquiries among residents and other members of the public.

A second source familiar with the incident disclosed that closed-circuit television footage from the area allegedly captured the attackers arriving on two power bikes, each carrying a white delivery-style box.

The three victims were said to be relatively new faces at the location, having recently joined other homeless persons who regularly spend the night at the bus stop.

Confirming the incident, the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Adebisi, said the bodies had been evacuated and deposited at the Lagos State Government’s Mainland Hospital, Yaba, for autopsy.

She added that preliminary investigations were ongoing to identify the deceased and trace their families, as well as establish the circumstances surrounding the killings.
