Two people have been detained by the Ondo State Police Command in relation to the killing of Oladoyinbo Sunday, a socialite who was known as “Saybayo.” On December 10, 2024, Sunday’s body was discovered in his undies on an Akure street.
Adeojo Ilesanmi, 50, and Atinuke Adeniyi, 29, were named as the suspects by the police.
Police Public Relations Officer Funmilayo Odunlami said in a statement that Adeniyi had made claims about Sunday’s romantic involvement. She claimed to investigators that Sunday fell unwell and began convulsing when they were together in a brothel. She fled the room without him because she was afraid.
Police found the brothel owner, Ilesanmi, according to Adeniyi’s statement. Ilesanmi acknowledged driving Sunday’s body to the discovery site, saying he became alarmed when he learned about the death in his workplace.
The statement read, “The SWAT team through intelligence-led policing apprehended one Atinuke Adeniyi aged 29 years who claimed she and the deceased were involved in a romantic affair and that on the day before the corpse was dumped, she and the deceased made out in a brothel in Ijapo, after which the deceased started convulsing and out of fear, she abandoned him and quietly left the room.
“The suspect led the police team to the brothel where one Adeojo Ilesanmi aged 50 years, the owner of the brothel, was arrested. He confessed to having taken the corpse to the scene where it was found with claims that he was afraid when he realised the deceased died in his brothel.”
Odunlami confirmed the investigation is ongoing and both suspects will be charged in court once completed.
