The arrests were made less than two weeks after the police announced a breakthrough in the case.
Residents had raised the alarm over suspicious activities at the deceased’s residence, prompting detectives to visit the scene. They discovered signs of forced entry and disturbance. Adetayo’s body was found at the security post, while Oyesiku’s corpse was discovered inside the house. Her Lexus RX330 vehicle, initially reported missing, was later recovered.
