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.
