Lekan Adekanbi, the lone suspect detained in connection with the murder of Kehinde Fatinoye, a member of staff at the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), has eluded capture by Ogun State police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The police reported that they had detained Adekanbi as the main suspect in the case after Fatinoye, his wife, and their only son were killed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Up to the day of his murder, Adekanbi served as the late CBN staff’s driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Adekanbi was taken into custody by the Ibara police divisional headquarters to help in their investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to reports, the suspect complained of a fever on Tuesday and was transported to a hospital by two police officers from the Ibara division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lekan allegedly feigned to need to urinate in the hospital before fleeing, a source told our reporter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The source claims that from the moment of the suspect’s arrest until he arrived at the hospital, the police did not shackle him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sources claim that the suspect left after learning that the Fatinoyes’ domestic workers, who had been taken hostage along with their kid by the assassins, had survived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was discovered that the instant he laid eyes on the domestic staff, he started to feel restless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the meantime, CSP Bernard Ediagbonya, the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) in charge of Ibara, Abeokuta, has been fired for suspected carelessness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The command ordered the most senior officer in the division to assume leadership, hence the DPO was fired without any posting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to information obtained, Ediagbonya has been given the go-ahead to restart at the police headquarters in Eleweran immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Additionally, the police officers who failed to stop Adekanbi from fleeing when they were in charge of him are being disciplined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
