Osun State University (UNIOSUN) has suspended a 100-level English and Literary Studies student for her alleged involvement in the theft of a Lagos-based businessman for N1.5 million.
Prof Clement Adebooye, the institution’s Vice Chancellor, confirmed Victory Ahiante’s suspension on Sunday while speaking to journalists on the main campus in Osogbo, the Osun State capital.
Adebooye stated that university administrators had decided to suspend Ahiante on indefinite suspension in accordance with studentship regulations until the outcome of her case.
Recall that Ahiante, who hails from Edo State, was arrested by the men of Osun State Police Command after allegedly luring her social media boyfriend from Lagos to Ikire, where her boyfriend known as Ifanla and his other friends robbed the victim of his phone and transferred over N1.5m out of his account.
Adebooye expressed shock at the allegation levelled against the accused and inferred that her case was a deviation from its standards in character and learning.
He also appealed to his fellow students not to involve themselves in any criminal activities, saying the university would not condone such acts.
The Vice Chancellor said, “As we all know, Osun State University is widely renowned for our commitment to excellence in academics and core values of the responsible, law-abiding, and highly patriotic citizenry. We remain absolutely committed to these ideals.”
