Gunmen have assassinated a hotel owner, Kehinde Ibidunni and his wife, Elizabeth, in a brutal attack at Atan – Ota in Ado – Odo/Ota Local Government Area of Ogun State.
The 63-year-old man and his wife, 54, were reportedly shot dead by the gunmen who broke into their residence at Atan – Ota in the early hours of Tuesday and gunned down the couple in quick succession.
The attackers had stormed the residence at No 15 Tella Ojo Crescent, Atan – Ota, around 3pm, forcing their way into the house through a grille.
The noise caught the attention of a little girl living with the couple.
The little girl had immediately rushed to inform the hotelier of the development in his room, but when the man showed up to inquire about the “strange visitors,” he was reportedly shot in the heart and died on the spot.
Besides,the hoodlums later gained entrance into the building, got hold of the wife, beat her before she was shot dead.
The son, Olayinka, said his parents were murdered barely a month after they attended his wedding in Abuja.
He said: “They (couple) stayed alone in the house. They have a little girl staying with them in the house for support. At about 3 am on April 27, the girl heard some people trying to gain access in to the house through the burglary proof. She immediately stood up, went to my dad’s room, and called him that some people were trying to gain entrance.
“When my dad showed up to ask about the people, they shot him in the heart straight up. So, he died instantly. After they killed him, they gained access into the house. They went into the room, they met my mum, they beat her, they stabbed her and finally they shot her. They killed the two of them and after that, they scattered the whole house, they took the little money they could lay their hands on and they left.”
According to him, the police have taken the corpses to the morgue, but arrest has been made in connection with the crime.
