72 OAU Students Arrested As EFCC Carries Out Raid On  Private Hostels In Ile-Ife

Economic and Financial Crimes Commission officers  raided hostels that are occupied by students  at the  Obafemi Awolowo University Ile-Ife, Osun state in the early hours of Wednesday  and over 70 people were reportedly arrested while their whereabouts have remained unknown.

 Team@orientactualmags.com learned that the EFCC officers carried out the raid at about 2 a.m. and the affected hostels are the Fine Touch and Superb , Oduduwa Estate, Ile-Ife

.

It was gathered that   the EFCC officers forced their way into their rooms and arrested them.

President, Students’ Union Government , Abass Ojo, told reporters that  the union has details of 72 students  that were arrested  and had their  phones and cars taken away.

‘The EFCC officers came between 1:40 a.m and 4:00 a.m. Only students stay in those hostels. How can you arrest people for owning iPhones, laptops, and cars?’  a former union official, Joy Abiola, also submitted.

In a viral video ,  several young people were seen being marched into a white Hummer Bus with some security officials hitting them and ordering them to move and enter quickly. In another video, about six vehicles were seen alongside the white Hummer Bus.

 Some among the students said the officials and those who were arrested , have left  Ile-Ife  for Ibadan.

Those who carried out the raid may not be fake EFCC officials after all as the anti-graft agency has somewhat confirmed that it was aware of what took place at the affected student hostels.

‘A press statement will be released regarding that soon’ Head of Public Affairs Department , EFCC   Ibadan Zonal Command, Olumide Egbodofo, was quoted to have submitted-Team@orientactualmags.com
