UNILORIN prof’s ex-driver, two others to die by hanging
The convicts, who are Onimisi’s former
driver, Mr. Opeyemi Esan; one Mr. Benjamin Musa and Mr. Oluwasegun
Ajiboye, were convicted of robbery, punishable under Section 1 (2)
Robbery and Firearms Act, Cap R 11, LFN 2004.
The Kwara State Attorney General and
Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Kamalden Ajibade, who led the prosecution,
had told the court that the professor disengaged the service of Esan
due to his unruly behaviour.
Ajiade added that Esan was aggrieved with his dismissal and organised a robbery attack to retaliate the sack.
Esan, in his confession to the police,
was said to have owned up that he recruited Musa and Ajiboye from
Lagos State to deal with his former boss.
Ajibade said, “On September 10, 2016, at
the Senior Staff Quarters, University of Ilorin, the accused, while
armed with weapons, including guns and machetes, robbed Onimisi and his
family of their property, including a car, handsets, jewellery, and
other valuables.” -PUNCH.
