OAU Clears Air On Viral Video of Alleged Lecturer Caught Stealing Phone in Exam Hall

The management of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State, has reacted to a viral video where a male young adult was allegedly involved in stealing phones of some OAU students who were in examination hall.

The management made the clarification through a release made available to Vreporters by the institution’s public relations, Abiodun Olanrewaju on Wednesday.

Olarenju noted that, while some alleged that he was a lecturer, others said that he was an invigilator.

The release partly read:” Putting the record straight, the Public Relations Officer of the University, Abiodun Olarewaju, stated that the culprit was neither a lecturer in any of our Departments nor a student of our University.

“Actually, he came to the University dressed in a well tailored suit to disguise his intention, he was eventually seen stealing the phones from the bags of students who were sitting for their examination.

” His mode of dressing made those who caught him stealing the phones think that he was a lecturer assigned to invigilate the examination.

” We, therefore, want the general public to disregard, in its entirety, the insinuation that the culprit has any link to the University.” Below is the viral Video
