On Friday, the suspects were paraded at the Ogun State Police Headquarters in Eleweran, Abeokuta, the state capital.
During the parade, the Ogun State Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi, revealed that the deceased’s driver, Lekan Adekanbi, admitted to hiring the other two men to assist him in collecting money from his boss.
He claimed that while with the victims, they demanded a cash transfer, and after receiving the alert, the suspects realized they were being followed and decided to murder the couple.
According to Oyeyemi, the driver, who escaped from police custody on January 2, was tracked down to his elder brother in Iseyin, Oyo State, but he had left before the police arrived.
He explained that the police teams increased their efforts, and Adekanbi was apprehended on January 21 in his hideout somewhere in Abeokuta.
Adekanbi, who had been driving the victims since 2018, “confessed to being the mastermind of the dastardly act” during interrogation.
“He invited the other two suspects Ahmed Odetola (aka Akamo) and Waheed Adeniyi (aka Koffi) to join him to rob the couple,” Oyeyemi said.
“He admitted that he took the action because the couple refused to raise his salary, and that he approached them for a loan to buy a motorcycle, but they refused.”
He told police that he and his “hired killers” waited for the couple to return from the New Year Crossover Service because he had access to the house, and that they “pounced on them as soon as they entered the house.”
He also stated that the Alsatian dog in the house did not attack him because the dog recognized him as the person who used to feed it.
