The Personal Assistant to murdered Ondo State caterer, Mrs Debbie Olakunbi Adene, has reportedly confessed why he and his boss’s driver killed the popular entrepreneur few days after her birthday.
Sources disclosed that the two murdered the 54-year-old woman because they wanted the money that was sprayed on her during her birthday celebrations.
Reports said the PA, name withheld, was arrested by police detectives after the victim was gruesomely killed in her house located at Oda Road, Akure, capital of Ondo State, after her body was discovered on her bed by her neighbours who informed the caretaker of the house.
The deceased mother of two was said to have entertained visitors at her residence and served assorted wine and drinks before posting many of her pictures on social media.
After her husband, Dele Adene, expressed concern over the delay in the arrest of the killer, a police source said the deceased’s PA confessed to killing her.

Adene, in an interview, had said: “I was told that my wife’s corpse was found on her bed in a pool of blood, showing 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. I don’t know how dwellers in the building did not know such thing happened in a house with four flats apartment.”
However, a police source said the PA was providing the police with useful information about the circumstances surrounding the killing.
It was also gathered that the late caterer’s driver, who is on the run, provided the weapon used to hack her to death.
Meanwhile, efforts to reach the Ondo state police Command spokesperson before going to press proved abortive as the known telephone lines were unreachable.
