Abducted former EKSU Deputy VC discovered dead
The death of Professor Femi Olaofe, the kidnapped former deputy vice chancellor of Ekiti State University, at the kidnappers' hideout was verified by the Ekiti State Police Command on Wednesday.
The professor's body was discovered in a shallow grave, according to State Commissioner of Police Adeniran Akinwale, who made the confirmation in response to questions from reporters.
Early on Wednesday morning, word leaked out about the professor's passing. He was abducted almost three weeks ago from his home in Ado-Ekiti.
In the Commissioner’s words, “Yes, the professor has been found dead, and we are doing everything possible to exhume the body for burial.
“However, we have arrested so many people, and you know the circumstances surrounding the incident, and we suspected insider’s work in which the security man employed by the professor was the one who planned it.
“They (abductors) kidnapped the man with him so that we will not suspect. In the process of rescuing him, we have arrested some people. I can’t say much about the security guard, but at the appropriate time, we will brief the public.”
