were quizzed at the Iyaganku office of the EFCC in Ibadan yesterday in
respect of an alleged case of Abuse of Office and misappropriation of

According to the petition submitted to the Commission, it was alleged
that the Vice Chancellor and the Bursar were involved in “Corruption,

Millions of Naira of the University."
The Vice Chancellor allegedly drew Furniture Allowance annually instead of just once in 4 years as approved and he was paying himself Housing Allowance while residing in the University’s Vice Chancellor’s Quarters.

unrelated subheads to finance other projects without the appropriate
approvals for such virement.
