The body of the ex-vice chancellor of the Federal University of Technology Akure (FUTA) who was kidnapped has been found. Its unbelievable that his body was disposed in his compound in Akure at an abandoned store outside his main building where cables and diesel are being kept.
Police have so far arrest two persons who are in connection with the killing, and his gate man who was earlier reported to have been kidnapped along with him, is now a major suspect. It was later discovered that his gate man and his accomplice killed him just to steal his new car, but the car has been recovered by the police in Ogun State before now.
A week ago, family of the deceased professor had raised alarm that he was missing alongside his security man after they were both kidnapped.
The family had said the kidnappers walked into the house and mysteriously took him away with the security man.
The house maid reportedly raised the alarm that some men came looking for the deceased and drove off with him, while the 73-year-old wife was still sleeping in one of the rooms in the house.
The two suspects sold the family a dummy by dropping his wrist watch and a pair of slippers by the security gate, as if they fell from him while he was been taken away by his abductors.
The suspects, before fleeing with the stolen vehicle, locked the main gate of the house from outside with padlock, thus locking the wife and others in.
A member of the same church as the deceased, who was informed of the disappearance of the professor, reportedly engaged a welder who broke the padlock to open the gate and reported to the police.
