While being paraded at the Ondo State Police Command, the suspects said the plan to kill the professor and take his car away for sale was hatched a day before the act was committed.
Giving details on how they killed their victim, Bamitale said, “Daniel lured out Baba by telling him that there was an electrical spark in the house after I’ve stationed myself around the entry of the kitchen.
“Immediately Baba came out I grabbed him and strangled him to death. Daniel’s role was to put a piece of cloth in his mouth to stop him from shouting.
“After some few minutes, the old man gave up and we dragged him into the generator house and locked him inside the store that Sunday night. We left the house and locked the gate outside so that no one will suspect us.
“We went inside and took the car key and some other items like iPad, two phones, laptop, two bags and seven thousand Naira which we used to fuel the car.
“We left Akure and headed to Lagos. We left with those items so that the car will not be tracked again because Baba used these gadgets to activate the tracking.”
According to the Ondo State Police Commissioner, Isaac Eke, the two suspects are being held in police custody. He added that police investigators continue to interrogate the suspects as the investigation into the tragic event continues.
The deceased vehicle was later recovered in Ogun state.
