The corpse of Oreoluwa Fatinoye, the 25-year-old son of a former employee of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Kehinde Fatinoye, and his wife, Bukola, who was an employee of the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB), allegedly assassinated on the New Year day in Abeokuta, Ogun State, has also been found.
It was gathered that Oreoluwa was taken away from home after his parents were killed and burnt and was reportedly thrown into a river along the Adigbe-Obada road in Abeokuta, the state capital.
The decomposing body of Oreoluwa with both hands tied with rope to the back was discovered on Tuesday floating on the river by fisherman.
Speaking on the discovery, the fisherman, Idowu Taiwo, said he discovered the body 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 it to the river bank.”
The assailants after killing the couple, set their corpse and the house, located within the Ibara Government Reservation Area, Abeokuta, ablaze.
It was learnt that the killers had trailed the couple to their residence from their church, where they had attended the crossover service to usher in the new year.
The couple, who were burnt beyond recognition, were on Monday buried amidst tears by sympathisers, family and friends.
