UNIOSUN suspends student for theft

Ahiante Victory Ehiremen has been suspended from the Osun State University (UNIOSUN) for allegedly participating in a WhatsApp crime.

Ehiremen had already been charged by the Osun State Police Command.

The institution's vice chancellor, Professor Clement Adebooye, made the announcement of the suspension on Thursday in Osogbo. He said the indefinite suspension was in accordance with the rules governing studentship at the university.

Adebooye added that the suspension was implemented following the police inquiry and while awaiting the outcome of her case in accordance with Federation legislation.

According to DAILY POST, Ehiremen, a 17-year-old native of Edo State and a student at UNIOSUN's Ikire campus, is accused of luring and robbing her online boyfriend of his money and phone.

The act was done in connivance with her boyfriend, who is now at large, and his friends.

"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 July 11, 2023, she was a 100-level student in the Department of English and Literary Studies. She was arrested by the police operatives, 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 actualisation 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.”

The university, according to Adebooye, is a brand name, and everything would be done to preserve and zealously guard its positive reputation.
