Murdered couple: Suspect escapes from Police custody

A man simply identified as Lekan, a former driver to the late former official of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Kehinde Fatinoye; his wife and a prime suspect in the murder of the deceased has reportedly escaped from the custody of the Ogun state Police Command.

This was disclosed via a WhatsApp post over the weekend, with the photograph of the suspect attached.

Also, an online media platform had reported that one Felix who lived with the Fatinoye family had raised the alarm that he recognised the driver of the couple, who allegedly participated in the murder of the entire family.

Felix had reportedly raised his voice when he was taken to the river side where Oreoluwa was drowned, indicting Lekan who was the late wife’s driver of being involved in the dastardly act.

Blueprint gathered that Lekan was promptly arrested and taken into the custody for questioning.

A source said the police had two suspects in their custody until Friday when one of them escaped.

At the time of filing the report, no comment has been made concerning the suspect’s escape from police custody.
