Prof.
Ilemobade’s body was found dead on Sunday afternoon at “an abandoned
store” inside his compound at ilaje street, Ijapo Estate in Akure, the
state capital.
The store, a small isolated room outside the building of the compound is where cables are kept,
He was killed by his driver, Yemi and gateman, Daniel.
After
killing him in his bedroom, they took the body to the car park and
poured diesel on it so that the odour of the decomposing body could not
be detected on time.
They were
arrested in Ogun State while trying to sell the former Vice Chancellor’s
car. After the discovery, people wept openly at the residence of the
former Vice Chancellor. Speaking on behalf of the family, Venerable

called him after the church service that he should come to the Ijapo,
Akure residence of the late don.
When he got there with some people, he met Yemi and Daniel leading police detectives to the car park where they dumped the body.
“They (driver
and gateman) confessed that they were the ones that killed the late Vice
Chancellor and poured diesel on him so that the odour of the
decomposing body could not be detected on time. Policemen had removed
the remains to the mortuary for further investigation,” Fagbemi said.
One of the family members said: “When the policemen came, the driver and gateman said they went to the bedroom of
Prof Ilemobade in the night, killed him, took his remains to the car
park and poured diesel of him. Then, they made away with his car and it
was in the process of trying to sellthe car at Ogun State that they were arrested by the police”.
