Parading the suspects in Abuja on Friday, FCT Commissioner of Police, CP Ben Igweh, said the suspect who confessed to the killings, said his gang killed the couple for failing to fulfil a promise made by the victims to give him some money.
The Commissioner said the suspect was arrested in Obajana in Kogi State after he slaughtered the couple, withdrew N200,000 from their account and ran away.
Investigations also revealed that Marcus was the driver to the couple before deciding to kill them.
Recall that FCT Police spokesperson, SP Josephine Adeh while confirming the murder, had explained that “following a distress call by the Estate Manager of Zone D, 1st Gate, Apo Legislative Quarters to Apo Divisional Police Headquarters that one Seun Ezekiel, called to report that his parents, who reside in the estate were not responding to their calls and with his permission, they broke down the window protector of the kitchen to gain access into the house.
“They discovered the bodies of Seun’s parents: Adebola Ezekiel and Abiodun Ezekiel in a pool of blood with their throats slit by yet-to-be-identified persons,” Adeh had narrated on April 1.
