Tragedy Deepens as Father of  Kogi Photographer Dies Weeks After Son’s Murder

The heartbreak in the family of late Kogi-born photographer, Ayo, has taken a devastating turn. Barely weeks after Ayo was brutally assassinated by a man identified as Pelumi, the grief-stricken family has been dealt another cruel blow — his father has passed away.

According to close family sources, the elderly man, who had been battling intense emotional trauma since the killing of his son, succumbed yesterday. Many believe the pain and shock of losing Ayo played a major role in his sudden demise.

The double tragedy has sparked renewed calls for #JusticeForAyo, as friends, relatives, and well-wishers flood social media demanding swift prosecution of the suspect. The family, already shattered by the violent loss of their son, now faces the unimaginable task of burying both father and child within a matter of weeks.

While authorities continue their investigation, public outrage is growing over the slow pace of justice. For many, this is no longer just about one life lost — it is about the urgent need to end a cycle of violence that leaves families in ruins.
