RE: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Prof Ilemobade’s killers must face full wrath of law —Mimiko

I am in Abuja seething with anger as I watch on television the confession of the two scumbags that slaughtered this eminent Nigerian, Professor Albert Ilemobade, in his own home and left his body to decompose in a store while they made away with his car. Professor Ilemobade was their employer and what he got for his kindness was premature death. No punishment is adequate for these two hoodlums, Daniel and Olayemi. It is disheartening to witness the utter contempt we have here for human life. In addition to the Boko Haram mayhem, we are faced with weekly slaughter of Nigerians by trailers and petrol tankers that slam into markets, buses and motor parks. Last week, eighteen promising students of Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago-Iwoye, were taken from us when a trailer, going the wrong way, ran into their bus. Few weeks earlier, a petrol tanker veered into a busy Onitsha market, caught fire and roasted scores of Nigerians to death. Sad. Very sad indeed.

Prof Ilemobade's killers must face full wrath of law —Mimiko

Written by: 

Hakeem Gbadamosi - Akure

THE Ondo state governor, Dr Olusegun Mimiko, on Tuesday, assured family of  former vice chancellor of the Federal University of Technology, Akure ( FUTA), Professor Albert Ilemobade that  the perpetrators of the gruesome murder would not go unpunished.

Mimiko, who stated this  during his visit to the house of the deceased in Ijapo Estate in Akure, Ondo state capital, described the late don as a man who devoted his entire life  to the service of humanity.

The governor, who was accompanied by member of the Ondo State Executive, Director of State Security Services, Christian Ojobor, representative of the state Commissioner of Police, among others, said the deceased lived a life worthy of celebration.

He  frowned on  the manner the former vice chancellor was killed, even as he commended the efforts of the security agents in the state, for getting to the root of the incident.

The governor, who later visited the store where the corpse of the deceased was kept by the culprits, enjoined people to always look into the profile and details of whoever they employed as their  domestic workers.

Responding on behalf of the family, the deceased  first son, Adesola Ilemobade  appreciated the governor and his team for the visit and called for justice, describing the death of his father as a great loss

He described  his father as a great man who left a great impact and  heritage that would be followed by his children.
