The suspect, who spoke when he was paraded by the Ogun State Police
Command on Friday, claimed he contracted two cultists to kill the couple and
their only son, Oreoluwa.
He said, “I took the step because the
couple refused to increase my salary, and when I approached them for a loan to
buy a motorcycle, they didn’t oblige.
“Since that failed, I gave
the deceased my Access Bank account to which the sum of N1,102,000 (One
million one hundred and two thousand) was transferred at gunpoint.

“When I realised that my identity had been known through my bank
account, I decided with others to terminate the couple. That was when Waheed
Adeniyi a.k.a Koffi took a knife from their kitchen and slaughtered the
husband, Kehinde Fatinoye, while I used sledge hammer to hit the wife, Bukola
Fatinoye, on the head and she died on the spot.”

the bed and escaped through the fence of the hospital.
“His escape
further confirmed the police suspicion of his involvement through the
intelligence-driven investigation by the Commissioner of Police who ordered
the State anti-kidnapping unit to join forces with the homicide unit in order
to get the escaped driver and his accomplices arrested.
“The two
teams, in compliance with the CP’s directive, embarked on a technical and
intelligence-driven investigation and traced the movement of the suspect to
his elder brother in Iseyin, Oyo State but he had left the place before the
