The Osun Commissioner of Police, Mr Fimihan Adeoye, disclosed this to journalists yesterday while parading the suspects and other crime suspects at the Police Command headquarters in Osogbo.
According to Adeoye, some friends of the late Akinbile reported to the police on Nov. 27, the case of suspicious transfer of N3 million naira from the account of the deceased.
The commissioner of police said Akinbile’s friends informed the police that he had informed them that he would be passing a night in Ikirun, his hometown.
The deceased informed his friends that he would return the next day, Adeoye said.
