Aides kill ex-FUTA VC, dump body in garage

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).”
