A former Vice Chancellor of the Federal University of
Technology, Akure, Ondo State, Prof. Albert
Ilemobade, who was reported to have been
kidnapped last week has been found dead.
He was allegedly killed by his gateman and driver
who later dumped his body in the garage in his
house at the Ijapo area of Akure, the Ondo State
capital.
Ilemobade was earlier reportedly abducted by
unknown gunmen on June 22 together with his
gateman and driver. Since then, there had been no
information about his whereabouts until Sunday
when his decomposed body was found in his house.
Speaking about the incident, Ven. Ayodeji Fagbemi,
who is the vicar of the deceased’s church, said some
policemen from the Ondo State Police Command
called him after the church service on Sunday that he
should come to the house of Ilemobade at Ijapo.
He said, “I rushed down there only to see the driver
and the gateman of Prof Ilemobade leading the
policemen to the place where the deceased’s remains
were kept after being killed.
“The driver, Yemi, and the gateman, Daniel,
confessed to the policemen that they were the ones
that killed the former VC and poured diesel on him to
cover the odour of the decomposed body.”
The clergyman further explained that the policemen
had removed the remains and deposited them at a
mortuary for further investigation.
When contacted on telephone, the Ondo State
Commissioner of Police, Mr Isaac Eke, said the driver
and the gateman of the deceased had been arrested.
Eke said, “We have arrested two suspects in
connection with the incident and we are going to
parade them at the command on Monday (today).”
