Akure, Ondo State – The local community is in shock following the tragic murder of Mrs. Olakunbi Adene, the well-known caterer and Chief Executive of Country Kitchen. Mrs. Adene was found hacked to death in her residence along Oda Road, just five days after celebrating her 54th birthday.

“I was told that my wife’s corpse was found on her bed in a pool of blood, which showed she was hacked to death. I cannot believe that no arrest has been made up till the moment of talking to you. I feel suspects should have been arrested,” Mr. Adene stated. He urged the authorities to track her phone and investigate how such a brutal crime could occur unnoticed in a building with four flats.
