The suspect who has been identified as Lekan Akanbi claimed the failure on part of the deceased to grant his request and approve his salary led him to the act.

The suspect, who spoke when he was paraded by the Ogun State Police Command on Friday, claimed he contracted two cultists to kill the couple and their only son, Oreoluwa.

He said, “I took the step because the couple refused to increase my salary, and when I approached them for a loan to buy a motorcycle, they didn’t oblige.

“Since that failed, I gave the deceased my Access Bank account to which the sum of N1,102,000 (One million one hundred and two thousand) was transferred at gunpoint.

“When I realised that my identity had been known through my bank account, I decided with others to terminate the couple. That was when Waheed Adeniyi a.k.a Koffi took a knife from their kitchen and slaughtered the husband, Kehinde Fatinoye, while I used sledge hammer to hit the wife, Bukola Fatinoye, on the head and she died on the spot.”
