Lekan Adekanbi, the alleged prime suspect in the gruesome m¥rder of ex-CBN staff, Kehinde Fatinoye, his wife, Bukola Fatinoye and their only son, Oreoluwa Fatinoye, on New Year Day in Abeokuta, Ogun State, has disclosed the motive behind the hideous act.
Adekanbi, who had been a driver to the couple since 2008, was arrested and paraded on Friday, February 10, at the state police headquarters in Abeokuta, alongside three others.
Speaking with newsmen, he said that he arranged the k#lling because the couple refused to increase his salary and also lend him money to buy a motorcycle.
He said he then invited the two other suspects, identified as Ahmed Odetola a.k.a Akamo and Waheed Adeniyi a.k.a Koffi, to join him to rob the couple.
According to him, “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 was transferred at g¥npoint.
When I realised that my identity had been known through my bank account, I decided with others to termin@te the couple. That was when Waheed Adeniyi a.k.a Koffi took a knife from their kitchen and sl@ughtered the husband Kehinde Fatinoye, while I used sledge hammer to h#t the wife Bukola Fatinoye on the head and she di£d on the spot.”
He also said that while the robbery was on, Oreoluwa and the couple’s adopted son, Felix Olorunyomi entered the house and they were immediately seized, b£aten and their hands fast£ned with rop£s behind their back and subsequently driven to Ogun River Bridge at Adigbe where they were thr%wn into the river.
