Governor Abiodun of Ogun State has instructed the state’s police command to track out the assassins who murdered Kehinde Fatinoye, a former Central Bank of Nigeria employee, and his wife, Bukola, setting their home on fire on January 1, 2023.
In a statement released on Wednesday by his chief press secretary, Kunle Somorin, Abiodun promised that those responsible for the couple’s son’s abduction and subsequent drowning will face consequences.
He consequently pleaded with the authorities to find and capture the murderers ASAP.
The Governor’s statement reads: “My heart goes out to the families of Kehinde and Bukola Fatinoye. The incident indeed shocked me, as it was unfortunate and tragic. I can imagine the pains the families would be going through at this period when everyone is still basking in the euphoria of the New Year.
“This is a grievous crime, no doubt. I have directed the Commissioner of Police to ensure that everything is done in order to arrest the people behind the dastard act. I assure you that the perpetrators will not go unpunished. Such an heinous crime should not go without making the people responsible face the full wrath of the law.
“Though our administration had since strengthened the security architecture in the state, we shall continue to provide logistics to the security agencies in order to make our state the safest to live, work and play. Let me reiterate that no effort will be spared to ensure security of lives and property of our people.”
