The Ogun State Police Command has revealed that all suspects involved in the New Year’s Eve murder of a former Central Bank of Nigeria official, Kehinde Fatinoye, his wife and son have been arrested.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, Oyeyemi Bola, made the revelation on Thursday.

Bola twitted: “All the suspects involved in the killing of the Fatinoye couple and their son on New year’s eve in Abeokuta have been arrested.”

Kehinde’s home was raided in the Ibara area of Abeokuta, Ogun State, on New Year’s Eve the perpetrators killing him and his wife Bukola, and burning down their house.

Their son was reportedly taken away by the suspected assassins who set the house on fire.

It was gathered that the couple were murdered in their private residence in Abeokuta shortly after returning from a New Year crossover church service.

Police officers and health authorities who attended the scene later packaged the bodies.

About two days later, the son Oreoluwa’s drowned body was discovered in a river.

The Ogun State governor, Dapo Abiodun, had urged the police command in the state to go after the killers and apprehend them.

It was later reported that one of the suspects earlier arrested had escaped from police custody in January.

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.
