Olakunbi Adene, 54, was discovered dead in her home in Akure, the state capital, on Wednesday. The Ondo State Police Command announced that it had started an investigation into her death.
According to information obtained, the deceased woman was murdered because her lifeless body was discovered on Sunday in a pool of blood on her bed.
It was also discovered that the deceased hosted guests to celebrate her 54th birthday a few days prior.
A local source claims that prior to her tragic death, the deceased, who was married and had two children, was in good health and showed no symptoms of illness.
Speaking about the incident, Dele Adene, the husband of the deceased, said that he was shocked to learn of his wife’s passing.
However, he voiced his dissatisfaction with the police for having yet to make any arrests in relation to the incident.
Adene said, “I was told that my wife’s corpse was found on her bed in a pool of blood, which showed she was hacked to death. I cannot believe that no arrests have been made up till the moment of talking to you. I feel the suspects should have been arrested.
“Her phone should be tracked, and I don’t know how dwellers in the building did not know such a thing happened in a house with four flats.”
In a similar vein, Tejumade, the deceased’s daughter, claimed that one of her uncles had called to tell her about her mother’s passing.
“I came back from the church and was trying her line, but it was switched off. I later received a call from my mother’s brother, who called to inform me that my mother had been killed.”
The deceased’s remains had been placed in an Akure mortuary.
The State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Funmilayo Odunlami, confirmed the incident when reached by phone by a Punch correspondent. She also stated that the command had started an investigation into the case.
“I am aware of the incident, and an investigation is currently ongoing,” the PPRO stated.
