The body of Oreoluwa Fatinoye, son of the couple allegedly murdered on January 1, 2023 in Abeokuta, Ogun State, has been recovered from a river.
Truth Live News gathered that the deceased was reportedly murdered and thrown into a river along the Adigbe – Obada road in Abeokuta, after he was kidnapped by the unknown gunmen who murdered his parents.
Recall that Oreoluwa parents, Kehinde and and Bukola Fatinoye were murdered and set ablaze by unknown gunmen at their residence located within the Ibara Government Reservation Area (GRA), Abeokuta. It was reported that the incident occurred shortly after the couple returned from Cross Over Service.
The decomposing body of Oreoluwa was discovered floating on the river by fishermen on Tuesday morning.
Recall that Oreoluwa and the housemaid were reportedly kidnapped by the gunmen and were later thrown into a river along Adigbe – Obada area of the town.
Truth Live News further gathered that both hands of Oreoluwa were tired with rope to his back, apparently before he was thrown into the river.
Idowu Taiwo, the fisherman who discovered the corpse, said the lifeless body was found floating on the river while he was preparing for the day’s work.
He said:
“On Monday, we heard that someone was thrown into this river, but this morning while we were preparing for work, the police approached us and pleaded with us to inform them any time we discover the body.
“But, this morning, around 7.30, we discovered the body while we were checking on our equipment in the river. I called someone to help us get the number of the PPRO to tell him that we have discovered the body. Not long after, the police came and we showed them the body after we had brought to the river bank.
According to the spokesperson of the Ogun police command, Abimbola Oyeyemi, a suspect has been arrested in connection with the incident.
