The Vice-Chancellor of the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Olusola Oyewole, has been invited for questioning by the anti-graft commission, EFCC.
Mr. Oyewole and the institution’s bursar, Moses Ilesanmi, were invited for questioning based on allegations of corruption levelled against them.
The duo are to appear at the EFCC’s Zonal Office in Ibadan on August 17 by 10:00 a.m., according to an invitation letter signed by Akaninyewa Ezima.
“The office is currently investigating an alleged case of corruption and abuse of office involving your institution,” the EFCC invitation letter obtained by PREMIUM TIMES reads.
The university officials were told to come along with certified true copies of documents including those of capital projects executed in their tenure.
While Mr. Oyewole, a Professor of Food Science and Technology, was appointed in 2012, Mr. Ilesanmi was appointed in September 2011 and is scheduled to leave office in a month.
The EFCC is also investigating payments made by the university to the governing council of the institution led by a former senator, Adeseye Ogunlewe.
The invited officials were asked to come with records of all payments made to Mr. Ogunlewe and other members of the governing council since their appointment in 2013.
Mr. Ogunlewe, who represented Lagos State in the Senate, was appointed pro-chancellor of the university by former President Goodluck Jonathan.
ABEOKUTA—No fewer than

Estate area of Abeokuta, Ogun State, after excessive consumption of
local liquor, known as Ogogoro.

The seller, one Salako Taloju, a security man that has his kiosk in
front of the house of a prominent Abeokuta man, has been arrested.
It took four policemen about 15 minutes to drag Taloju, who appeared
drunk, into their vehicle. He resisted arrest, claiming innocence,
saying only three people died and that they lived around the area. He
gave their names as Baba Imeko, Baba Onwenue and Easy.
He had reportedly been selling the liquor for over 20 years.
Vanguard gathered that the incident involved four persons: three of them
died on Monday, while the fourth died later at the night.
Taloju, who spoke incoherently to newsmen, said: “We have been drinking
together for a long time. I do not know why they have to accuse me now
of killing them. I even took the same drink and nothing happened to me.”
Asked if he had reported the matter to his boss, Taloju said: “Do you
want to kill me? My boss has warned me on several occasions not to drink
again, but I refused to listen.”
One of the neighbours, Mrs. Kemi Adepitan, confirmed that the victims
died after consuming the liquor, saying “it is true that they died. We
were at the house of one of the victims this morning (yesterday) to
console his family.”
Contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi,
described the report as a rumour, saying the command did not receive any
report of death of anyone. He added that police had arrested the
suspect, although they could not confirm the report.
He said: “As far as we are concerned, it is a rumour. If anybody comes
to complain that a family member died, then we can confirm.
“We have not seen any dead body and nobody has complained of a dead
family member. Even the suspect has been arrested, but he was drunk and
we cannot rely on his statement.”
