Oyekan is not alone. His cohort and co- defendant, Lateef Balogun, 27, a former domestic staff will also accompany his in the journey of no return. Balogun was paid N6000 to commit the dastard act.
Adewale, is the son of Oba Adeyinka Oyekan, the Oba of Lagos who passed away on March 1, 2003.
The convicts who have been in custody for seven-years, murdered Ekun, a member of the Peoples’ Democrat Party (PDP) by strangling her and throwing her corpse in a 1,000 feet well located in her home.
While convicting and sentencing the defendants, Justice Raliatu Adebiyi in a two-hour judgement said that the prosecution had proved the charges of conspiracy to commit murder and murder beyond reasonable doubt.
