Abduction and death.
Ilemobade was kidnapped on June 22, 2015 by two of his domestic workers, Daniel Ita, his security guard and Yemi Bamitale, his driver who had been sacked few months before the incident.
The plot to murder him was hatched on June 21, by these housekeepers following a failed attempt by Ita, his driver to sellhis Toyota SUV car.
On June 29, 2015, his decomposed body was found in his residence at Ijapo estate in Akure, following a reminiscent of the smell of his body decomposition.
In an interview with Thisday, Bamitale claimed that Ilemobade was lured out of his house by Daniel, his gate-keeper under the pretense of electric spark within the house and the University Don was strangled to death in front of the gate where he lost the battle to the culprits. Bamitale further stressed that they went back into the house to loot the Professor's mobile phones, iPad, laptop, N7,000 and his Toyota SUV car. The culprits, Bamitale and Ita left for Ogun State that night but was arrested by officers of the Federal Road Safety Corps for driving with invalid vehicle documents but were later released after they paid for the release of the vehicle.
They were apprehended in Ogun State in an attempt to sell the vehicle by officers of the Ogun State Police Command who were invited by the buyer of the car on the basis of the fact that the price placed on the car by the culprit was suspicious and ridiculous.
