BREAKING: LASU Fires Dean of Student Affairs Over Certificate Racketeering Allegations

Prof. Tajudeen Olumoko, Dean of Student Affairs of Lagos State University, Ojo, has been fired.

His dismissal was in response to a news article published online.

According to the story, a certificate racketeering organization sold genuine Lagos State University diplomas for between N2m and N3m, depending on the difficulty of the course concerned.

Meanwhile, Dr. Abiodun Fatai-Abatan, a senior lecturer in the Department of Political Science, has been named as acting DSA.

“Yes, it is true, Olumoko has been removed and Abatan has taken over as DSA,” a university source who did not want to be identified told our correspondent. Yesterday (Tuesday), something occurred.”

However, when asked about the school’s reaction to Prof Olumoko’s departure, LASU’s Coordinator of Information and Public Relations, Oluwayemisi Thomas-Onashile said, “I’m not sure if he’s been removed or not.” I have not yet arrived at the office. So far, I don’t know anything.”

November 7, 2023 Police Investigate Another Student’s Death In UNIPORT Apartment

Police Investigate Another Student’s Death In UNIPORT Apartment

The Rivers State Police Command has initiated an investigation into the tragic death of another female student at the University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT).

The student, identified as Adaeze, was a 200-level undergraduate studying Accounting. The cause of her death remains uncertain at the time of this report. Her lifeless body was discovered in her off-campus residence in Aluu, a community near the university.

This unfortunate incident occurred just two weeks after the decomposing body of another UNIPORT student, Justina Otuene, was found in the residence of her ex-lover, Damian Okoligwe, who has since been arrested. Okoligwe, a 400-level student of Petrochemical Engineering, was implicated in Otuene's death.

According to Prof. Chima Wokocha, the Dean of Student Affairs at UNIPORT, Adaeze's body was brought to a health facility in the school by some of her neighbours. The police, along with the university management, have visited the scene of the incident, and the deceased student's parents have been informed of the tragic event.

The police spokesperson, Grace Iringe-Koko, confirmed the incident and stated that the investigation is underway to determine the circumstances surrounding Adaeze's untimely death. The initial report suggests that she was found with foam around her nose and mouth, and a bottle of a substance, possibly a sniper, was discovered nearby.

NLC, TUC Summon Extraordinary NEC Meeting Over Wednesday Strike

In preparation for the nationwide strike scheduled for Wednesday, the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) have called for an extraordinary National Executive Council (NEC) meeting.

During this meeting, organized labour will assess the planned strike's details, considering recent events such as the attack on NLC's National President, Joe Ajaero. Additionally, they will review the Memorandum of Understanding signed between the Federal Government and Organized Labor on October 2, 2023, in response to the fuel subsidy removal.

Tommy Etim, TUC's National Vice President, announced this on Tuesday. Last week, the organised labour issued a five-day ultimatum before their protest following the arrest of Joe Ajaero in Owerri, Imo State.

Their demands include the redeployment of the state's police commissioner and the arrest and prosecution of the governor's aide allegedly involved in the attack. If their demands are not met within five days, the unions have threatened to strike nationwide. Ajaero's arrest by the police occurred in advance of the state-wide protest in Imo.
