Two domestic staff of the kidnapped 78-year-old former Vice Chancellor of Federal University of Technology, Akure, FUTA, Ondo State, Professor Albert Ilemobade, have been arrested for allegedly murdering him and dumping his corpse inside his power generator house.
The late Professor of Veterinary Medicine was said to have been strangled last Monday by his security man, identified as Daniel, and driver, Yemi, and dumped in the power generator house before fleeing with one of his vehicles, a red RAV4 SUV.
The suspects were arrested by detectives in Ogun State, while they were attempting to sell off the car. A signal was said to have been sent to Ondo, based on the confession of the suspects that they stole the vehicle after they had murdered the professor and dumped his corpse in the power generator house.
Acting on the signal, police detectives were deployed to the house located at 40, Ikere Street, Ijapo, and his decomposing corpse was discovered.
Vanguard learned that the body was discovered in a store attached to the garage, where diesel is stored. While police in Akure were busy working on the theory that the deceased was kidnapped, little did they know that he had been murdered and his corpse dumped a few meters away from the main house.
