Barely one week after he was reported to have been abducted from his home, the decomposed body of the former Vice-Chancellor of Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA), Prof. Albert Ilemobade, was found in a generator house at his Ijapo Estate residence in Akure, the Ondo State capital.

Until Sunday’s discovery, the former university don was reportedly abducted last Monday along with his security man in circumstances that baffled his family and neighbours.

The decomposed body of the octogenarian was found after the arrest of two of his domestic staff by security agents in Ogun State, while trying to sell the Toyota RAV4 SUV stolen from the late Ilemobade’s residence.
After interrogation, it was discovered that the two suspects confessed to the killing of Ilemobade, hiding his corpse in the outbuilding, which housed the generating set before fleeing with his vehicle which they planned to sell.
The decomposed body of the deceased had been removed before THISDAY got to the residence of the former vice-chancellor.
All attempts to speak to his family were not successful, as some of them including two of his children and wife were unavailable for comment. Other members of the family were seen weeping.
But the vicar of the Vining Church, Dr Ayodeji Fagbemi, who was at the Ilemobade residence, told journalists that the body of the deceased was found in the outbuilding and the decomposing body had been soaked with diesel.
He described the death as unfortunate and could not imagine the reason behind the gruesome murder of the former VC.
Fagbemi said the two suspects apprehended by the police in Ogun State were domestic staff of the Ilemobade, adding that one of them was the driver while the other one his security man.
The vicar, who identified the suspects as Yemi and Daniel, explained that the two suspects carried out their nefarious act in a way that deceived the family and created the impression that the man was kidnapped.
He said the wristwatch of the deceased and his slippers were found outside the compound, signifying that the university don was dragged into the car by his hostage.
According to him, the deceased was at the church with him last Sunday.
“We were together last Sunday at the church and we celebrated together this year Fathers’ Day where he donated his quota to the church. He personally passed his cheque to me.
“I was surprised when the news of his abduction reached me last Monday and we had been praying along with the family believing that his abductors would soon get in touch with the family, only to be informed today that his decomposed body was found in the store.
“We have lost a very great scholar and it is just too wicked for a man of his calibre to have been killed this way. It is a terrible thing and I believe those behind this killing will be brought to book,” he said.
The state Commissioner of Police, Isaac Eke, who confirmed the development, said the two suspects had been apprehended by men of the Ogun State Command, adding that they would be transferred to the state. He said the suspects would be paraded today in Akure.
