An Ondo State High Court sitting in Akure has
sentenced 2 persons, Ita Enang & Olayemi
Bamitale, to death by hanging, for killing a former
Vice Chancellor of Federal University of
Technology, Akure (FUTA), Prof. Albert Ilemobade
in June 2015
Enang and Bamitale who were both domestic
staff of the deceased, connived and had him
killed over financial disagreement.
After killing him, they hid his body in his garage
and escaped with his SUV and other valuables.
After one week of declaring him missing, family
members found the late scholar's decomposing
body inside a sack. Both men were arrested while
trying to sell off his SUV and other valuables they
stole.
While delivering judgement, the presiding judge,
Justice Olamide Williams, said the prosecuting
counsel had proved beyond reasonable doubt that
the accused persons killed the varsity don for
their selfish gain. She thereafter sentenced them
to death by hanging.
