The
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has confirmed the arrest of a member
of staff of the Information Technology department of Covenant University, Ota,
Ogun State, for allegedly diverting
N180m school fees belonging to the school.
The
EFCC’s acting Head, Media and Publicity, Tony Orilade, in a text message to one of our correspondents said, “I
can confirm that a Covenant
University staff has been with us for
some days now over an alleged case of stealing reported by the Chancellor of
the school.”
The
diversion of the money was said to have taken years before the university
discovered his alleged fraud.
The
Chancellor of the university and Presiding Bishop of Living Faith Church
Worldwide, Bishop David Oyedepo, reportedly described the staff’s lifestyle as
“riotous”.
The
suspect was said to have bought some flashy cars, which he allegedly kept in a
mansion he bought with part of the stolen money at Lekki, Lagos,
despite having a house in the school where he lives with his wife.
