This followed petition by the Academic Staff Union of the Universities, chapter of the University to EFCC.
According to the petition which was titled: “Complaint of fraudulent practices by Professor IO Oloyede and Professor AG Ambali as immediate past and current vice chancellors respectively of the University of Ilorin: Pension fraud and other financial and economic crimes,” the duo were said to have been involved in pension fraud, unremitted deductions, extortion from students, contract inflation and kick-backs; as well as unlawful payments to ex-principal officers of the university
The JAMB Boss has however denied the accusations stating that he operated a transparent system within the period he served the university as vice chancellor. He called on the anti- graft agency, EFCC, to investigate the allegations and take necessary action after establishing the truthfulness of the case brought before it by the union.
