Two employees of the slain former Vice Chancellor of the Federal University of Technology, Akure, FUTA, Prof. Albert Ilemobade, have narrated how they snuffed the life off the aged University don.
Yemi Bamitale and Daniel Ita served as driver and security guard respectively to the deceased Professor and narrated to the personnel at the Ondo State Police Command, that the plan was to first kill ‘Baba’ before making away with his car and gadgets to avoid being tracked.
Bamitale said, “Daniel lured Baba by telling him that there was an electrical spark in the house after I’ve stationed myself around the entry of the kitchen.
“Immediately Baba came out, I grabbed him and strangled him to death. Daniel’s role was to put a piece of cloth in his mouth to stop him from shouting.
“After some few minutes, the old man gave up and we dragged him into the generator house and locked him inside the store that Sunday night. We left the house and locked the gate outside so that no one will suspect us.
“We went inside and took the car key and some other items like IPad, two phones, laptop, two bags and seven thousand Naira which we used to fuel the car.
“We left Akure and headed to Lagos. We left with those items so that the car will not be tracked again because Baba used these gadgets to activate the tracking.”
Luck ran out on the suspects when the man bargaining to buy the car called the police after he suspected that with the ridiculous price demanded by the suspects, the vehicle was sure to be a stolen one.
