Former Vice Chancellor, Federal University of Technology, Akure, Ondo State, Prof. Albert Ilemobade
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).”
