The assailants had reportedly stalked the couple from their church where they had gone to observe the crossover service.
After murdering the family, the suspects subsequently set the house and the bodies on fire.
The assailants also kidnapped their son, Oreoluwa and their adopted son and later threw them into a river.
Tragically, the corpse of Mr Oreoluwa was discovered floating on the river, while the adopted son escaped with some injuries, DailyTrust reports.
Some days after the unfortunate incident, the Nigerian Police Force arrested Adekanbi whom the adopted son, Felix had identified as one of the suspected killers when Felix was brought in by the police to identify the corpse of Oreoluwa when it washed up on the river bank.
Adekanbi, who was said to be the driver of the couple, somehow managed to escape from police custody and was immediately declared wanted by the police.
The suspect, who spoke when he was paraded by the Ogun State Police Command on Friday, alleged that he contacted two cult members to eliminate the family with promises of a monetary reward.
His confession states:
“I took the step because the couple refused to increase my salary, and when I approached them for a loan to buy a motorcycle, they didn’t oblige.
“Since that failed, I gave the deceased my Access Bank account to which the sum of N1,102,000 (One million one hundred and two thousand) was transferred at gunpoint.
“When I realised that my identity had been known through my bank account, I decided with others to terminate the couple. That was when Waheed Adeniyi a.k.a Koffi took a knife from their kitchen and killed the husband, Kehinde Fatinoye, while I hit the wife, Bukola Fatinoye, on the head and she died on the spot.”
