Some students of the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) are
currently protesting at the High Court of Justice Ede, Osun State
over the arraignment of the Vice Chancellor, Professor Anthony
Elujoba.
The protest commenced after the Judge, David Oladimeji asked
that Elujoba be remanded in Ilesha prison pending the ruling of the
application for bail of himself and the bursar Mrs Ronke Akeredolu
on July 19, 2017.
Elujoba and the bursar are facing 7 counts over alleged
misappropriation of funds and abuse of office.
The EFCC opposed the application for bail for both defendants, a
decision which got the students and workers angry.
They argued that they would not leave the court unless Professor
Elujoba is released on bail.
On Monday, lecturers at the institution also protested over the
VC’s arraignment, saying he was innocent of all the charges
levelled against him.
