K!llers Of Ogun Ex-Permanent Secretary, Wife Arrested | READ DETAILS
Two suspects in the gruesome mur-der of a former Ogun State Permanent Secretary, Femi Egbeoluwa and his wife, Funmi, have been arrested by operatives of the Lagos State Police Command.
Recall that the couple were mu-rdered in their Ikeja residence on March 19, 2023.
The suspects arrested and paraded in Ikeja on Thursday, May 25, were the slain couple’s former driver, Wale Adeyemo, and his accomplice, Kingsley Chibueze.
Addressing journalists during the parade, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, said Adeyemo resigned as the couple’s driver during the naira scarcity period and was paid off.
According to Hundeyin, after squandering the money in less than two weeks, Adeyemo approached 26-year-old Chibueze and conspired with him to attack the couple, his former bosses.
The PPRO said;
“You will recall that on “March 19, 2023, in Ikeja, an elderly couple were murd-ered in their house and the murder-ers stole lots of valuables, phones, and money. We were yet to ascertain the exact amounts they stole but they are in dollars and naira. Based on our intelligence and our investigation, we have been able to arrest Wale Adeyemo and Kingsley Chibueze.
“Wale was the driver of the couple, and during the cash crunch, the driver approached the elderly couple and requested to be paid off, he said he was no longer interested in working for them. The elderly couple paid him off.
“But in less than two weeks, he had squandered the money and being an insider who knows their movements and everything about the house, he recruited Kingsley Chibueze and they stormed the couple’s house, mu-rdered them and also atta-cked the housemaid. From the at-tack, it was obvious their intent was also to ki-ll her but she survived.”
He said the housemaid was rescued and she was responding to treatment in the hospital.
Assuring that the third suspect, who was still at large, would also be arrested, Hundeyin said Adeyemo and Chibueze would be prosecuted and not be kept with the police for long.
