The Nation Newspaper Panic as students allegedly detain EFCC operatives in Ibadan
While a source claimed that the EFCC operatives were in the school to arrest suspected internet fraudsters, another account has it that the operatives were misled into the hostel by a suspect under investigation by the agency.
The lockup, it was gathered, made the EFCC call for Police backup to help secure the release of the operatives. According to another account of the incident, the EFCC operatives were misled by a suspect under investigation to evade arrest. “On getting to the College, he apparently played on their intelligence by leading them to the student hostel area, maybe in a bid to evade arrest.“But when the students saw the EFCC operatives on campus and around the hostel, armed with guns, they were surprised and quickly mobilised and locked the entrances of the hostel.
“The lady drove with one hand and was shooting into the air with the other. The case has been reported at the Police Headquarters, Eleyele Ibadan.” It was also established that the suspect particularly misled the anti-graft operatives by claiming to be a staff of the College, as when he was requested by the operatives to lead them to his department where he works, he misled the officers and took them to the student hostel.
