Top CBN official’s son found dead days after parents were murdered
Fishermen have found the body of Oreoluwa Fatinoye from the Adigbe/Obada axis of the Ogun River.
Local fishermen found the corpse on Tuesday and called the attention of the police, according to reports by Penpushing Media.
The police previously disclosed that a suspect was arrested in connection with the killing of the parents, but further information that could detail the assailants’ motive was unknown.
His parents, Kehinde and Bukola Fatinoye, were killed on Sunday shortly after they returned from new year’s eve church service.
Mr Fatinoye was abducted along with the family’s domestic staff until his remains were found Tuesday morning.
Ogun state police spokesperson, Abimbola Oyeyemi, confirmed the development.
“Yes, the body has been recovered, but I cannot say more than that at the moment,” the police officer told Peoples Gazette on Tuesday. “The police will brief the public when the investigation has been concluded.”
