The management of the Federal University Oye-Ekiti has described as untrue reports that the institution’s Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Joshua Ogunwole, who served as the Chief Returning Officer for the recently concluded Osun State governorship election, was arrested and detained by the police in Abuja.
FUOYE Director of Communications and Public Affairs, Dr Sunday Saanu, said the reports of arrest and detention “are entirely false, baseless, and deliberately fabricated.”
Saanu said in a statement made available in Ado Ekiti on Wednesday that “Prof. Ogunwole has not been arrested, detained, or invited by the police or any other security agency in connection with his official duties as Returning Officer or for any other reason.
“For the avoidance of doubt, Prof. Joshua Ogunwole, the substantive VC of FUOYE, successfully discharged his responsibilities as the Independent National Electoral Commission Returning Officer for the Osun State Governorship Election.
