The university PRO, Abiodun Olarewaju said OAU will not shield anyone who engages in criminal activities but that the right of the innocent will also be protected.
, Ile-Ife, have reacted to the report of the arrest of some students by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission over allegation of their involvement in internet fraud.
“We arrested 69 suspects at Oduduwa estate, Ile-Ife, who we suspect to be involved with fraudulent internet activities. We will begin our investigation, and if they are found guilty, we will charge them to court,” Mr Oyewale said. The statement, which was signed by the Chairman of the Osun State Axis of Joint Campus Committee of NANS, Ogungbe Adedamola, described the arrest as an “unlawful invasion of the students’ hostels.”
The statement reads in part; “It is disheartening to witness the EFCC focuses its attention on students who have come to Ife with the sole purpose of receiving quality education to improve their lives and contribute positively to society while leaving untouched the politicians who have played a significant role in bringing our country to the brink of destruction”.
Mr Olarewaju said: “I am on my way to Ibadan with the acting CSO. We want to go and ascertain the number of our students that were arrested. We don’t want to be under the illution that all those that were arrested are all our students.
