Two residents of Ibadan, Oyo State, lost their lives on Monday, October 26, 2026, following a deadly clash at Ogunpa quarter over the sharing of money.

The disagreement between the two men quickly escalated into a violent confrontation at about 12:45 p.m., with both men reportedly retrieving knives from a nearby trader’s shop.

During the struggle, one of the men stabbed his opponent in the neck, killing him instantly at the scene, according to reports.

The attacker also sustained a severe knife wound to his right wrist during the fight.

He was rushed to Naomi Hospital in the Oke Padre area for emergency treatment but died from excessive blood loss before doctors could stabilise him.

Witness accounts from the area suggest that the dispute began when one of the men demanded a larger share of the money given to them.

Confirming the incident, the spokesperson for the Oyo State Police Command, DSP Olayinka Ayanlade, said officers from the Iyaganku Division, led by the Divisional Police Officer, visited both the scene and the hospital.

The bodies of the two deceased men have since been evacuated to the hospital mortuary as the police continue their investigation into the tragedy.

The fatal clash over money cost both men their lives, leaving behind a sobering lesson for the community: a dispute over cash ended in tragedy, with neither man surviving to spend the money.
