The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has arraigned three suspects before the FCT High Court 13 over the alleged murder of Adimike Godwin in Guzape, Abuja.
The defendants—Adimike Odirachukwu Anthony, Adimike Chinyere Stephany and Comfort Ajibade—were remanded in the Suleja Correctional Centre after their arraignment, while the court adjourned the case until September 30, 2026.
The FCT Police Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, disclosed this in a statement issued on Monday.
According to her, the incident occurred on May 15, 2026, after a relative of the deceased alerted the Guzape Divisional Police Headquarters that repeated efforts to reach him had proved unsuccessful.
Police detectives who responded to the distress call reportedly found the victim unconscious in his room with multiple stab wounds.
He was rushed to Karu General Hospital, where doctors confirmed him dead.
Adeh said the Commissioner of Police, FCT Command, CP Ahmed Muhammed Sanusi, ordered a comprehensive investigation, which initially led to the arrest of five suspects, including the deceased’s driver and gateman.
She explained that after investigations, the police filed charges against Adimike Odirachukwu Anthony, Adimike Chinyere Stephany and Comfort Ajibade.
According to the police, the defendants were arraigned on a four-count charge bordering on alleged criminal conspiracy to commit culpable homicide, culpable homicide and offences under the Same Sex Marriage (Prohibition) Act.
”The Court adjourned the matter to 30th September, 2026 for further proceedings and ordered that the three defendants be remanded at the Suleja Correctional Centre pending the hearing,” the statement said.
The command assured residents that it would continue to pursue justice for victims of crime while respecting the constitutional rights of all persons throughout the judicial process.
