Lekan Adekanbi, the driver of the former employee of Central Bank of Nigeria, Kehinde Fatinoye, yesterday, confessed to killing the Fatinoyes.

Fatinoye, his wife, Bukola, a former Federal University of Agriculture Abeokuta (FUNAAB) and their only son, were gruesomely murdered on New Year Day, because according to him, “the couple refused to increase his salary, and grant his loan request to buy a motorcycle.”

It would be recalled that the couple, Kehinde and Bukola Fatinoye were killed in the most gruesome manner at their apartment at the GRA Abeokuta, Ogun State, on New Year Day, immediately they returned from the crossover service. The murderers also set their bodies ablaze to cover their crime.

Adekanbi a.k.a Koroba, who had been the couple’s driver since 2018, made the confession after his arrest and his two accomplices – Ahmed Odetola a.k.a Akamo and Waheed Adeniji a.k.a Koffi, confessed to the operatives of the state Police Command that he invited the other two suspects to join him to rob his boss.

Adekanbi revealed that himself and his two accomplices waited for the couple to return from the crossover service since he had access to the house and they pounced on them immediately they entered the house.

When asked why the Alsatian dog in the house did not attack them, he stated that the dog was very familiar with him being the person who always fed it.
