The Ekiti State Police Command has confirmed that Professor Femi Olaofe, former Deputy Vice Chancellor of Ekiti State University, EKSU, has died in the hands of his kidnappers.
Commissioner of Police, Adeniran Akinwale, revealed that the professor’s body was found in a shallow grave.
Professor Olaofe was abducted from his residence in Ado-Ekiti about three weeks ago, and news of his tragic fate emerged Wednesday morning.
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.”
