The Olabisi Onabanjo University, on Monday said it has not received any information from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) or any security agency over allegation of corruption against its Vice-chancellor, Prof. Saburi Adejimi Adesanya.
Deputy Registrar, Corporate Affairs Division, Niyi Oduwole, said this in a statement issued while reacting to two publications in which Prof. Adesanya was dragged to the EFCC by OOU Alumni Association.
The statement reads: “The attention of the University authority has been drawn to some recent publications in the Thursday 23rd March edition of ThisDay Newspaper and Sunday, 26th March Edition of The Nation Newspaper alleging that the Vice-Chancellor, Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago-Iwoye, Professor Saburi Adejimi Adesanya have been dragged to the EFCC by some faceless members of the OOU Alumni Association.”
“We noted that none of these publications has a byline and nobody’s name was mentioned as a member of the said alumni association, thus raising dust about the credibility of those stories.
However, for the benefit of the general public and to set the record straight, the University wishes to state that it has not received any information from the EFCC or any security agent whatsoever on this frivolous allegation.
“It may also interest members of the public and most especially the media that a faction of the alumni led by Mr. Shorunke had already taken the University to court on this matter, therefore, further comments on it may be considered to be subjudiced, contemptuous and prejudicial before the court of law.
“Therefore, the University will not be tempted to go into media war by joining issues with anybody. Rather, the University, as an agent of government and a law abiding institution, will give appropriate response after the case would have been disposed forthwith by the Court.”
