Tuesday, August 13, 2024 - The police in Ondo state have arrested two domestic staff of a popular caterer, Olakunbi Adene over the murder of their boss at her home in the Oda area of Akure, the state capital.
The suspects in their confessional
statement to the police said they murdered their boss after she prepared a
sumptuous meal for them two days after she celebrated her 54th birthday party.
According to the suspects, their boss decided to treat them to a meal to
appreciate them for performing their duties well at her party. It was after
they ate her meal that they teamed up and killed her.
The suspects were arrested after
police detectives tracked her two android phones stolen by them after the
murder.
A police officer who is privy to the
incident and spoke on condition of anonymity, said;
‘’The first suspect was tracked to
Idanre, where the driver was said to have fled while the second android phone
was tracked to Akure.
One of the suspects said the three of
them (Driver, P/A and another friend) went to their late boss’ house who cooked
for them on that fateful Thursday and after eating the delicious food they
descended on her, gagged her mouth and used two big cutlasses they brought
along to cut her head while she was pleading to them to spare her life.
The suspect said the generator was on
between 6pm and 7 pm and the deafening noise of the generator did not let
others know.
They said they covered the deceased’s head
with duvet and continued hitting her head, they later cut her wrist and leg.
Not only this, the suspect said the other two were with knives started
stabbing her stomach, chest and breasts”
Her
intestines were said to have come out while the body was full of scars. The
suspects tried to cover their tracks and wanted people to believe it was a fire
accident, went to the kitchen and lit the gas with matches then opened the gas
from the cylinder and emptied the gas in order to make it explode.
They then
covered it with rubber clothes to make it burn the whole house so that people
would think it was caused by gas explosion from the kitchen.
But the gas
cylinder did not explode as they planned. They then took her ATM cards and two
Android phones and fled the scene.
Speaking on the murder of the caterer, her
younger brother, Adebola Oyeneye, said;
” I was the one who took the body to the
mortuary, they burnt part of the stomach.
Also speaking, the deceased's husband,
Dele Adene said that the autopsy would be done later. The distraught husband
confirmed that the killers used knives to stab her severely.
” I went with the police to the
house last Friday looking for the knives they used, because one of them
confessed that they used knives to stab her and when one broke, they picked
another one, maybe the knife had been buried in her stomach, it’s when the
autopsy is done that we would know”
