A Magistrate Court II sitting in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, has remanded the suspected killers of Mr and Mrs Kehinde Fatinoye and their son, Oreoluwa on New Year’s day.
JomogNews reported that Lekan Adekanbi, the prime suspect in the gruesome killing of a couple had confessed that he and his gang members; Ahmed Odetola and Waheed Adeniyi slaughtered the family after forcing them to transfer N1,102,000.
Adekanbi, the driver to the wife of the late Kehinde, said he organised his fellow cultists to rob the family because they refused to grant his request for a loan.
Chief Magistrate Esther Idowu on Wednesday ruled that the suspects be kept in prison for 60 days, pending legal advice from the Department of Public Prosecution (DPP).
The suspected killers would be locked up at the Oba Correctional Centre while their accomplices, Temitope Fadairo and Adenike Adekanbi were sent to the Ibara Correctional Centre.
Also, buyers of the slain couple’s car, Owolaja Anuoluwapo and Usman Azeez were also remanded at the Oba prison for the same period of 60 days
JomogNews reports that the suspects were brought before the court on an 11-count charge bordering on murder, conspiracy to commit a felony, arson, stealing, and escape from lawful authority, among others.
