Management of the Osun state university on Thursday suspended, a 17-year-old student of the institution for luring and robbing her social media boyfriend of his money and phone and transferring over N1.5m out of his account.
The vice- Chancellor of the institution, Prof Clement Adebooye who announced her indefinite suspension at a press conference in Osogbo, explained that, Victory, who hails from Edo State and 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 out the said amount from his account.
According to him, the suspension would be on until the police conclude their investigations and as a result of this, “University authorities have decided that Ms Ahiante Victory Ehiremen is hereby placed on indefinite suspension in line with regulations guiding studentship pending the determination of her according to the law of the Federation.”
“The case of Ahiante Victory Ehiremen is a shock to us, even as she is in her first year of study. I got a security report on her case, and with the official information available, an allegation of conspiracy and robbery has been established against her by the Police authorities. Consequently, she is in police custody for further investigations and prosecution. ”
“Ahiante Victory Ehiremen’s alleged involvement in a criminal act is in violation of her matriculation oath. She has made a written statement which the University has considered alongside the available intelligence report.
“The University authorities have therefore decided that Ms Ahiante Victory Ehiremen is hereby placed on indefinite suspension in line with regulations guiding studentship pending the determination of her according to the law of the Federation.”
“I called this press conference to clear the air on the issue of one of our students by the name Ahiante Victory Ehiremen with Matric Number 2022/42652, who is in the custody of the Police for alleged collusion leading to the robbery of a Lagos-based businessman.
“Prior to her arrest on 11th July 2023, she was a 100 Level student in the Department of English and Literary Studies. She was arrested by the Police force and the University notified her parents immediately.
“As we all know, Osun State University is widely renowned for our commitment to excellence in academics and core values of responsible, law-abiding and highly patriotic citizenry. We remain absolutely committed to these ideals.
“And we do not relent in the pursuit and actualization of these lofty moral standards. This is why in the last six months, three of our former students have distinguished themselves both at national and international levels.
“It is important to mention what our students and alumni are doing out there. For example, MI Aladekomo Tobi, our graduate of Banking and Finance received the highest of NYSC about 2 months ago.
“Also, our student, Adegboyega Mustafa Adebayo during this week was named an ECOWAS Ambassador and will receive Nelson Mandela Award. Our Richard Solomon of the College of Law was appointed ECOWAS Ambassador for Youth Development and also received Nelson Mandela Award.
“Our French Language students recently won the FIRST Prize in a national competition. Also, our Food Science and Technology students won First Prize at the Nigeria Institute of Food Science and Technology.
“Therefore, our university is a brand name and we seek to do everything to protect and guard jealously the good image and reputation”, he concluded.
