The Ogun State Police Command have arrested a suspect in line with the assassination of the late couple, Kehinde and Oluwabukunola Fatinoye, who were killed and burnt in the early hours of New Year’s day in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
The couple were reportedly murdered in the early hours of Sunday morning at their Government Reservation Area, Ibara, Abeokuta residence after returning from a crossover service in their church. Their killers also reportedly set their corpses on fire, abducting their son and maid.
Kehinde was an ex-staffer of the Central Bank of Nigeria and his wife worked with the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta.
Their son has been allegedly murdered and his body thrown into a river in the Adigbe-Obada axis of the state capital, although, the body has not been found as of the time of filing this report.
The police spokesperson in the state, Abimbola Oyeyemi, said the police have arrested a suspect, adding that investigation was ongoing.
He said, “The incident happened after 12 in the morning. It is true that a couple was killed and set ablaze at their residence in Abeokuta, shortly after they returned from Cross over Service.
“This is a clear case of assassination and we are not leaving any stone unturned to unravel those behind the killings. One person has been arrested by our operatives in connection to the incident. We will get to the root of the matter, as investigation has since begun.”
