Mrs. Olakunbi Adene, a well-known caterer and the Chief Executive of Country Kitchen in Akure, Ondo State, was found brutally murdered in her residence on Oda Road, just five days after celebrating her 54th birthday.
A reliable source disclosed to Vanguard that Mrs. Adene’s lifeless body was discovered by neighbors on her bed, and they subsequently informed the caretaker of the house.
A family member shared that the mother of two was in good health before her untimely death. “Her lifeless body was found in a pool of blood on her bed with no trace of her killers. It was just a few days ago that she marked her 54th birthday, entertained many visitors in her residence, and served assorted wine and drinks to her guests,” the source recounted.
Mrs. Adene’s husband, Dele Adene, expressed his shock and disbelief over his wife’s death. “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 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 flat apartments,” he stated. The deceased’s daughter, Tejumade, recounted how she learned about her mother’s death. “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 remains of Mrs. Adene have been deposited at the mortuary in Akure.
Ondo State Police Public Relations Officer Funmi Odunlami confirmed the murder and stated that an investigation is underway. “I am aware of the incident, and an investigation is currently ongoing. We promise that the killers would be smoked out and made to face the wrath of the law,” Odunlami assured.
The community is in shock as they await justice for the popular caterer who was loved by many.
