    Cybercrimes: Varsity management knocks EFCC over raid on students’ hostels

    Management of the Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA) has frowned at the modus operandi of operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in the arrest of some suspected fraudsters.

    It, however, clarified that the EFCC operation happened in an off-campus private hostel.

    The EFCC operatives had raided some private hostels in the Orita Obele area of Akure metropolis where some students of the institution reside.

    It was gathered that the EFCC operatives stormed the hostels at about 2 am on Wednesday and allegedly treated students unfairly.

    The spokesman for FUTA, Adegbenro Adebanjo, in a statement, expressed reservations about the timing and mode of the operation.

    Adegbenro stated: “Such patently dangerous tactics should not have been employed by the operatives. The process should always follow due process without causing harm or injuries to anybody physically or psychologically.

     

    “Indeed but for providence something untoward could have happened in the course of the operation carried out in the off-campus hostels.

     

    “The University is in touch with the EFCC to ascertain the identity of those arrested and validate their studentship and also to ensure that innocent FUTA students are not punished for offences they have not committed.

     

    “FUTA abhors all forms of anti-social practices including acts of criminality in all its forms and supports all initiatives to bring perpetrators to face the consequences of their actions within the ambits of the law. The University rules and regulations as contained in the Students Code of Conduct as stipulated in the University Handbook and oath of Matriculation which all students are made to sign specifically prescribe varying degrees of punishment for students who run afoul of the laws governing their studentship or engage in illegal acts or odious behaviour.”
