Sunday, August 11, 2024 - The Personal Assistant to popular Ondo State caterer, Debbie Olakunbi Adene, has reportedly confessed that he and his employer's driver killed the businesswoman five days after her birthday.
The 54-year-old woman was hacked to death by the assailants in her house
located at Oda Road, Akure, the state capital on Sunday, July 28, 2024.
Mrs Adene’s body was discovered on her bed by her
neighbours who informed the caretaker of the house.
According to the Vanguard, the PA, name
withheld, was arrested by homicide detectives in Akure.
The suspects allegedly killed her in order to take
the money that was sprayed on her during her birthday celebrations.
The mother of two was said to have entertained
visitors at her residence and served assorted wine and drinks before posting
many of her pictures on social media.
After her husband, Dele Adene, expressed concern
over the delay in the arrest of the killer, a police source said the deceased’s
PA confessed to killing her.
“I was told that my wife’s corpse was found on her
bed in a pool of blood, showing she was hacked to death," Mr Adene said in
an interview.
“I cannot believe that no arrests have been made
till the moment of talking to you. “I feel the suspects should have been
arrested. I feel the suspects should have been arrested
"Her phone should be tracked. I
don’t know how dwellers in the building did not know such a thing happened in a
house with four flats.”
However, a police detective, who
spoke to Sunday Vanguard, confirmed the arrest, adding that the PA also
provided the police with useful information about the circumstances surrounding
the killing.
It was also gathered that
the late caterer’s driver, who is on the run, provided the weapon used to hack
her to death.
