A 54-year-old woman, Olakunbi Adene, was gruesomely murdered by unknown assailants in her residence four days after celebrating her birthday.
The deceased, a popular caterer in the state, was found in a pool of her blood at her residence, located at Oda Road, Akure, Ondo State.
The mother of two, according to a resident of the area, was full of life while celebrating her birthday before she was hacked to death.
A resident who spoke in confidence said Adene marked her 54th birthday, during which she entertained her guests at her residence.
She said: “The deceased, who was a social media enthusiast, posted many of her pictures on Facebook. After the birthday, several well-wishers congratulated her. It was saddening to find her dead some days later.”
The deceased’s husband, Dele Adene, who described the demise of his wife as a rude shock, said: “I was told that my wife’s corpse was found on her bed in a pool of blood, which showed she was killed.
“I cannot believe that no arrests have been made up until 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.”
The daughter of the deceased, Tejumade, also said she had been informed about the murder of her mother.
When contacted, the Ondo State Police Command Public Relations Officer, Funmilayo Odunlami-Omisanya, said, “I am aware of the incident, and an investigation is currently ongoing.”
