The staff verification exercise organised by Osun State Government for its employees was yet again disrupted on Friday,
“That is not done. The fundamental rights of every individual should be protected. ASUU UNIOSUN will not stand for that. We have respect for our university, and that is why every member is here for the verification exercise. There is a staff member, whose phone was confiscated for hours until an individual had to plead before the phone was released.
“I wouldn’t know why her phone was seized. The security her were using guns to push people. This is not right. She stopped and walked out on us. She drove out of this place.”The consultant who insisted that she was being maligned unjustly, said one of the staff of the university called her a bastard, and rather than react, she entered her vehicle and left the scene.
The said, “To say I am in shock is an understatement over the alleged altercation. I am surprised because these are university staff, since 9 am we were here, it has been one problem or the other. A staff of the university had an issue with a security operative of the Osun Joint Task Force which I mediated. The phone was seized but I handed it over to one of the union members.
“I was walking out with the Deputy VC when they refused to cooperate with the process, these people have not been cooperating with the exercise since morning which really affected us. One of them addressed me as a bastard and I was surprised, I said, you called me a bastard? I turned around and I entered my car. All those allegations are mere fabrications, I was the one that was insulted and also maligned but I don’t have a problem with that.
After the intervention of the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Clement Adebooye, the exercise later resumed and more staffers were verified.All rights reserved.
