Alleged arrest of three lecturers: Police lied —AAU Management

   —MANAGEMENT of Ambrose Alli University, AAU,
Ekpoma, has refuted reports credited to the Edo State
Commissioner of Police, Mr. Haliru Gwandu, alleging
that three lecturers of the institution were arrested over
cult-related activities, saying that the Police lied, just as
it described it as “totally false and embarrassing.”

Ambrose Alli University

It asked the Police Commissioner to retract the
statement and apologise to the management and
students of AAU within 24 hours.
It will be recalled that while addressing journalists on
Tuesday, the state Police Commissioner, disclosed that
a lecturer at the university, a professor, was arrested
for secret cult related activities and added that a double-
barrelled gun, single barrel gun and one pump action gun
were recovered from him.
However, the management of the university, in its
reaction by the Public Relations Officer of the university,
Edward Aihevba, debunked the allegations, insisting that
the institution had no cult-related issue since the
inception of the administration of the incumbent Vice
Chancellor, Prof Ignatius Onimawo, last year.
Aihevba said: “There has been no report from the Police
or any individual or groups for that matter, concerning
any incident of cultism or cult-related activities.
“The Police Commissioner and his team could not have
arrested any staff of the university, or found 14 dead
students and not make a report, formal or informal, to
the authorities of Ambrose Alli University.
“The Police Commissioner, by his pronouncement, has
opened the way for damaging and libelous display of
falsehood in the social media.”
He added that the university last month conducted
election into the Student Union Government of the
institution without any disturbance of any kind and that
first semester examinations were currently ongoing in a
peaceful atmosphere.
