Twenty-one students of the Osun State University, who were arrested by the operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission last Thursday, have been released.

The arrest of the students in their various hostels in the Oke Baale area of Osogbo by a team from the Ibadan zonal office of the anti-graft agency led to a protest by fellow students, who blocked the Osogbo/Ibokun Road and set up bonfires.


They were later dispersed by men of the Osun State Police Command, who removed the items used to block the road.

Security sources told our correspondent on Sunday that the students were released after they were profiled by the EFCC operatives in Ibadan.

One of the sources added that the social media accounts of the students as well as their phones and other gadgets were checked and were found not to be involved in Internet fraud.


It was also learnt that an employee of the institution, whose identity was not made public, who was arrested for filming how the students were being arrested, had also been released.

Speaking with our correspondent on Sunday, the Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Administration and Development, UniOsun, Prof. Janet Olaitan, confirmed the release of the students.

“So far, so good; all the 21 students arrested have been released,” she stated.

Commenting on the release of their fellow students, two undergraduates of the university, who preferred anonymity, berated the anti-graft body for the way their mates were apprehended.

They claimed that the affected students were arrested without any tangible evidence linking them to Internet fraud as alleged by the EFCC, adding that releasing them without pressing charges was a confirmation of the allegation of incessant harassment of students by security operatives.

They however, called for synergy between the university’s management and security operatives to fish out those students engaging in criminal activities.

EFCC is a weakling. they only go after feeble people. look at the NASS they're thieves there that have milked the nation. let them begin from there then leave their sister agencies to handle internet fraudsters.

I think there should be a proper investigation before going after People.
Being a Nigerian is stressful enough,let's not start giving people unnecessary problem.

Alright.

Did you say compensation? How are you sure the students were not asked to pay for damages before releasing them.

Lol

How dem wan take see exhibit when boys don dey save their tools for cloud these days.

My problem be say Na When EFCC go parade Ibb, Obasanjo, Tinubu, Jonathan and Buhari??

Because with the Kind money wey these men steal, if to say dem use am develop the country, need for no dey for boys to do yahoo yahoo in the first place.

If boys get well paying job weytin go make dem dey stress themselves to dey awake from 12am to 6am every night, Na dem no like sleep ba?

Yahoo yahoo is just a means of survival for naija youths. Make boys cash out big time and invest so that bad belle neighbors and Buhari EFCC no go put eye for your body.

As long as there is social inequality in Nigeria, Internet Fraud will never end.
I can say Yahoo yahoo is God sent to liberate the children of the poor from oppression by the elites and political class.
