LEADERSHIP gathered that the corpse of the septuagenarian who has been held in captivity by his abductors for 20 days was found in a shallow grave along Ekiti Cargo Airport Road.

Some suspects were said to have been arrested by the police in connection with the deceased’s kidnap.

The Commissioner of Police, Ekiti State Command, CP Adeniran Akinwale Adeniran who confirmed Professor Olaofe’s death said, “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.”
