After over a month of frantic investigation, the Ogun State Police Command has revealed that all culprits who has a hand in how the entire family of a former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) official, Kehinde Fatinoye, was gruesomely murdered on January 1 have been arrested.
The development was disclosed by state Police Public Relations Officer, Oyeyemi Bola, on Thursday in a terse statement on Twitter.
He wrote, “All the suspects involved in the killing of the Fatinoye couple and their son on New year’s eve in Abeokuta have been arrested.”
Recall that tragedy struck in the Ibara area of Abeokuta, Ogun State, on New Year’s Eve when Kehinde and his wife Bukola, were murdered and burnt beyond recognition in their residence in Abeokuta.
Their son as well as a family friend (name withheld) who had come to pay them a visit were reportedly taken away by the suspected assassins who set the house on fire.
It was gathered that the couple was murdered in their private residence in Abeokuta shortly after returning from a New Year crossover church service.
Their remains were later packed by policemen and health officials who visited the scene.
Oreoluwa and their family friend were later dumped in the river by the assailants. It was learnt that while the family friend could swim out of the river, Oreoluwa could not leading to his death and his body was found roughly two days later.
On his part, the Ogun State governor, Dapo Abiodun, had charged the police command in the state to go after the killers and bring them to book.

But assuring that all suspects have been apprehended and are in police custody, the state PRO took to his Twitter handle to announce that all suspects involved in the gruesome murder had been arrested.
