Ex- banker turned caterer and former President/Chief Executive Officer Country Kitchen/Events, Debbie Olakunbi Monsurat Adene (nee Oyeneye) was gruesomely killed by unknown assassins in her room at Oda Road, Akure. TAIWO ABIODUN writes on the puzzle generated by the ugly incident.

MRS. Debbie Olakunbi Monsurat Adene  (nee Oyeneye), who relocated from Lagos to Ondo State some years ago to start a new life, was found in a pool of blood last Sunday, five days after  celebrating her 54th birthday. Her death came as a shock to everyone and turned Akure town as well as her Owo where she was born into mourning.

Sadly, no suspect had been arrested at the time of filing this report.

She had relocated from Lagos to Ondo State some years ago when she found things rough and started struggling to make a living. She abandoned her Secretarial career and what started as a small business metamorphosed into a full-fledged catering services company called Country Kitchen. The business made her to know many people including government officials, politicians and other prominent people in the society.

Her younger brother, Adebola Oyeneye, who resides in Owo, ssaid he received a phone call from one of his cousins in Akure who informed him that his sister had died.

Adebola said: “I received the call at 12 noon on that fateful Sunday that my sister was dead. So I quickly drove to Akure.

“On getting to the gate of the house, I met three police officers with an ambulance. I was wondering why the policemen were there.

“As I was ruminating over this, the police officers asked me to go in and see for myself. While going into the room I perceived a foul smell. I went in and saw her a pool of blood and I screamed.

“The body had already started smelling, which means she must have been killed about two days earlier..I could see her head with deep cuts, her hand almost chopped off while her leg had a deep cut and was dangling.
