The bursar of Yaba College of Technology, Lagos, Mr Olu Ibirogba, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to investigate damning allegations against the rector of the institution.

He made the revelation to newsmen in Lagos while speaking on how the rector and the Chairman of Council, Chief Ebenezer Babatope connived to misappropriate funds belonging to the school.

Ibirogba, who has been suspended since 2013, had addressed a petition to President Muhammadu Buhari, accusing the rector of engaging in corrupt practices.

He said, “Unfortunately, we thought they would do justice and be impartial in investigating the fraud rocking the school when the Governing Council of the institution was inaugurated in April 2013, but they decided to romance the perpetrators of the theft of our commonwealth and became patrons and beneficiaries of corruption.”

He alleged that to a very large extent, the rector of the institution has stolen a huge amount of money from the institution and suppressed all information that could indict her and victimised those that were perceived to know so much about the issue and capable of exposing the stealing and diversion of public funds in the institution.

However, in his response to the allegations, the public relations officer of the institution, Mr Charles Oni, said that Ibirogba could be described as an agent of the devil who is out to tarnish the image of a committed rector, who, he said, had transformed the 68-year-old college.

He said that the N5 million monthly security vote is not strange, but that the peculiarity of the environment, especially the security threats constituted by those he described as the dangerous “Fadeyi boys,” “Jibowu boys” and “Abule Oja boys,” among others.
