On New Year Day, hoodlums attacked the residence of a worker of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Kehinde Fatinoye, and his wife, Oluwabukola, at the GRA, Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital. The hoodlums set the couple ablaze after killing them. They abducted their surviving son, Oreoluwa, and threw him into the Ogun River.
DAUD OLATUNJI,
the younger brother of the CBN worker, Oluwaloseyi Fatinoye, laments the elimination of his brother and his entire familyI am the younger brother of Kehinde Fatinoye and the last born in the family.I cannot say much about this terrible incident because we did not stay together. I work in Lagos, and my brother lived in Abeokuta. So, I cannot say this is how or why what happened to my brother came to be.I got a call from my brother’s friend in Abeokuta.
… When I entered the house, I went straight to my brother’s room. I saw my brother and his wife burnt. They were dead. I did not know what to do. I didn’t even know where I was. It was like a dream. I was feeling like, “Could this be true?”He was a very humble man. If he met you for the first time, he would accord you respect regardless of your age difference. He was very gentlemanly. He was loved by people. He was easygoing. He had friends.
For instance, I was fighting with someone when my brother called, and when he came, he met me fighting the person. Do you know what he did? He begged the man to go and gave him money without asking me what the cause of the fight was. I objected to it, and he said I should let him go. He told me he had to do it in order to keep the peace. That was my brother, very humble and gentle.He was the backbone of the family. You can quote me anywhere: “He was our breadwinner.
You can see that my brother was loved by members of the family and others. It was obvious during the wake and funeral service that he was a pillar in the family; almost all the family members attended the service. I want to tell you that there was no one like him in the family. Those who did this will not go free.He had no parents and no sister.How many children did he have?No, he did not have any more. His firstborn, Oreoluwa, is over 20 years old, and he is doing his masters degree.
