Nigerian radio personality Oriyomi Hamzat has revealed touching details about the family of Kehinde Alade, the WAEC student who tragically lost his life after being hit by a stray bullet in Ibadan, Oyo State.
The incident occurred on May 20, 2025, while Kehinde was on his way to his examination center. A stray bullet, allegedly discharged by a police officer, struck the young student, cutting his life short and sparking outrage across the state. In response, the Oyo State government has launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the tragedy.
Speaking at a recent press conference, Oriyomi Hamzat shared that he met with Kehinde’s father shortly after the incident. During their conversation, the grieving father disclosed that Kehinde’s mother abandoned the family nine years ago, leaving him to raise their children alone.

He suggested that her presence on the day of the incident might have prevented the tragedy, especially if she had been in the vehicle and able to intervene or offer guidance.
