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

Really?

Why is this crime a "rude shock"? It should not be. It is not the first of its kind. It is one more of similar crimes before it. It will not be the last of its kind. Is the outrage expressed below because the victim here is an academic? What about the many others before him. Governor Mimiko cannot be serious. He could not in good conscience claim that a murder such as this one is a surprise to him. He is the the Chief Security Officer of his State. What has he done and continues to do to make life and property safe in his State? It is all very well for the killers to "face the full wrath of the law" as he has threatened but how doe this ameliorate the loss of the victim to the world and especially his family? I would prefer that having expressed his sense of loss, he faithfully governs his State. if he does, he will be well on his way to reducing or eliminating conditions in his State that enable the "successful" perpetration of crimes such as this one.

The abduction and the strangulation of the former VC of Federal University of Technology Akure came as a rude shock. The killers did not even show any sense of remorse which was expected of a normal human being. They are hardened criminals.
A thorough investigation should be made to unearth the perpetrators of this heinous and criminal act.
A great lesson to the rest of us. May the Almighty grant his family and friends the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss of this great mind and personality.

Prof Ilemobade's killers must face full wrath of law —Mimiko<http://tribuneonlineng.com/content/prof-ilemobade%E2%80%99s-killers-must-face-full-wrath-law-%E2%80%94mimiko>

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.
