AAUA suspends Yahoo student arrested by EFCC for N16m Internet Scam

The 400-level student of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko, Ondo State, Tajudeen Kolawole, who was among the students arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has suspended by the institution.

Kolade was allegedly involved in a N16m internet scam along with four other students of the Federal University of Technology, Akure, leading to their arrest by the EFCC.



The statement read in part,  “The suspension is in line with the extant rule of the university to place on suspension any student allegedly involved in a criminal act either within or outside the university until the conclusion of his or her case by the investigating or prosecuting authority and the relevant University Disciplinary Committee.”

The institution advised Kolawole to stay away from the university campus until further notice,  except if he was expressly invited by the university authorities.
