Just In: Police Arrest Suspects Who K#lled Ogun Couple, Son On New Year’s Day 

The Ogun State Police Command has arrested all suspects involved in the gruesome m¥rder of a couple, Kehinde and Bukola Fatinoye, and their son, Oreoluwa, in Abeokuta area of the state.

 

The victims were k#lled on New Year’s Day at their residence after returning from Crossover service.

Following the tragic murder, a suspect simply identified as Lekan Adekanbi was arrested. Shortly after, he escaped from police custody at Ibara Police Divisional Headquarters.

But giving a situation report on the case on Friday, February 10, the command’s spokesperson, Abimbola Oyeyemi, said three persons involved in the k#llings, including the prime suspect, who had earlier escaped from police custody, had been arrested.

“The three suspects involved in the k#lling of the Fatinoye couple and their only son have been apprehended by operatives of Ogun State Police Command.

The suspects, Lekan Adekanbi a.k.a Koroba, Ahmed Odetola a.k.a Akamo, and Waheed Adeniji a.k.a Koffi were all arrested following painstaking intelligence-based investigation embarked upon by men of the Command, as a result of the gruesome m¥rder of the couple, Kehinde and Bukola Fatinoye and their only son Oreoluwa Fatinoye.

In the course of the investigation, one Lekan Adekanbi, a driver to the deceased family, was arrested based on circumstantial evidence, while the investigation continues.

The arrested suspect Lekan Adekanbi suddenly collap§ed in the cell on the 2nd of January 2023, and he was rushed to the hospital for medical care. But while in the hospital receiving treatment, he suddenly jumped from the bed and escaped through the fence of the hospital. His escape further confirmed the police’s suspicion of his involvement in the case,” he said.
