The dead body of a former Vice Chancellor of FUTA, Professor Albert
Ilemobade, who was said to have been kidnapped, has been found in his house at
Ijapo in Akure, Ondo State capital on Sunday morning. According
to a family source, Professor Ilemobade’s driver and gateman killed the former
University Don in his house and made away with his Toyota SUV.
However, they ran out of luck as Police intercepted the car at Ogun
State, which led to the arrest of the suspects and eventual discovery of
Professor Ilemobade’s dead body at the store in his house.
The decomposed body of the professor has been deposited at an
undisclosed mortuary in the state capital. Professor Ilemobade had been
reported kidnapped last Sunday when his whereabouts were unknown. The Public
Relations Officer of Ondo State Police Command, Wole Ogodo, told Channels TV
correspondent that the Command would brief the press as soon as they get enough
relevant information about it.
In the earlier
report during the
week, which has now been found to be untrue, Professor Ilemobade was said
to have been abducted alongside his gateman at his residence. His housemaid
reportedly saw the gunmen when they took the former don away.
According to the report, the gunmen, on their arrival at the
residence of the former Vice Chancellor, approached the gateman, but before he
knew what was happening a gun was reportedly pointed at him and he was asked to
lead them to the living room where the former Vice Chancellor was accosted and
asked to follow them to their vehicle.
The so-called
abductors whisked both the Professor and the gateman away to an unknown
destination.
