The Driver of the Murdered Couple's Is Not Our Staff -FUNAAB...Asks The Public To Take Note

Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB) has dismissed a publication being circulated, particularly on social media linking  one Lekan, who purportedly is the Driver of the gruesomely murdered couple, Mr.and Mrs.Kehinde and Bukunola Fatinoye who has been declared  wanted, as staff of the university 

Head,Directorate of Public Relations of the university, Kola Adepoju in a statement made available to Edu-biznews on Sunday, clarified that 

the Driver was neither a bonafide nor a casual staff of FUNAAB, contrary to the publication that portrayed the suspect (Driver) as a staff of FUNAAB, who is working in the same office with her murdered boss, Mrs.Fatinoye, a bonafide staff of the University.

"It is for the purpose of putting the record straight in public glare and domain that this refutal has become important and necessary", the university stated

The university added that the late couple only employed the suspect as their private Driver without any recourse to the university

"Our investigation has shown that the late couple on their own volition privately engaged the Driver without any recourse or connection whatsoever with the University"

FUNAAB then enjoined the general public to disregard the publication which it described as malicious and discrediting 

"Therefore, we are using this medium to call on the general public to please disregard this malicious and discrediting information, and we equally urge the circulators to immediately correct the falsehood, while others should desist from spreading the tissue of lies henceforth"

"While the efforts of members of the Public in assisting the Police to fish out the perpetrators of the heinous crime is noted, however, it should not be to the detriment of the good image of the University"

"We wish to express our implicit confidence in the ability of the Nigeria Police Force(NPF) to track down the murderers and bring them to justice"

"We pray God to give the couple's relations, fellow staff of FUNAAB and CBN respectively, and the Public in general the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss", the statement concluded
