Governor Ademola Adeleke has intervened after the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) operatives stormed the campus of Obafemi Awolowo University in Ife to arrest students on suspicion of cybercrimes.
The governor directed Osun state’s Attorney General to collaborate with the school administration, Student Union leadership, and the EFCC to resolve the issue.
The governor made this known while reacting to a social media post from a user named JỌJÚADÉ, who said the EFCC operatives abducted the students, including fresh graduates, in the early hours of the morning.
The user had tagged Governor Adeleke, implying a failure in the security promises made by his government.
Responding, Governor Adeleke assured that students’ rights will be safeguarded and due process will be strictly followed.
He further stated that he would monitor the situation to ensure transparency.
His words:
”I have instructed the state’s Attorney General to work with the school administration, leadership of the Student Union, and the EFCC to safeguard the rights of the students and ensure that due process is meticulously adhered to. I will continue to keep a close watch.”
