Adene said, “I was told that my wife’s corpse was found on her bed in a pool of blood which showed she was hacked to death. I cannot believe that no arrests have been made up till the moment of talking to you. I feel suspects should have been arrested.

“Her phone should be tracked and I don’t know how dwellers in the building did not know such a thing happened in a house with four flats apartment.”

Similarly, the deceased’s daughter, Tejumade said it was one of her uncles that called, on the telephone, to inform her about what happened to her mother.
