    Justice Chukwujekwu Aneke of Lagos Federal High Court, yesterday adjourned till November 11, further hearing on the fundamentals rights enforcement suit, filed by Professor Abayomi Sunday Fasina, the Vice Chancellor of Federal University, Oye-Ekiti, Ekiti State, (FUOYE) and two others, seeking to stop police investigation over alleged financial misappropriation against them.

    Justice Aneke fixed the new date after Professor Abayomi’s counsel, Mr. Ebun Olu Adegboruwa (SAN), informed the court of his clients’ further affidavit to the suit, which he said has been served on the respondents.

    Adegboruwa also told the court that he would not be able to go on with the matter, as he was billed to travel to Abuja for another matter.

    Though, in response to the applicants’ further affidavit to the suit, the police lawyer, Mr. Chukwu Agwu, asked the court for a stand down to enable him study the further affidavit and reply on point of law.

    However, owing to the fact that the applicants’ counsel intends to travel outside the court’s jurisdiction, Justice Aneke adjourned the matter till November 11, 2021, for hearing.

    The Vice Chancellor, Professor Abayomi alongside Mrs. Bridget Oyaola (acting Director of Works) and Mr. Sulaiman Olajide Usman (Chief Internal Auditor), have instituted a suit marked FHC/L/CS/684/2021, against the Commissioner of Police (PSFU); CP Anderson A. Bankole and Supol Sunday Akeregun as first to third respondents.

    In the suit, Professor Abayomi and others have sought the following reliefs: a declaration that they are entitled to know and be informed of the details of any investigation against them by the police and a declaration that physical invasion of the university’s premises by the respondents in an attempt arrest and detain the Vice Chancellor in a manner unknown to law, constitute a flagrant violation of their rights as guaranteed by the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

    They have also asked the court to award the cost of N50 million being general, aggravated and exemplary damages against the respondents, jointly or severally for the violation of their fundamental rights.

    However, the police in a counter-affidavit deposed to by Supol Segun Akeregun, filed by it’s counsel, Chukwu Agwu, asked the court to dismiss the applicants’ suit because it is frivolous and abuse of court process.

    The deponent averred that it is untrue that the police invaded the premises of the Vice Chancellor on June 17 and 18, 2021, or any day at all but only visited the university premises to serve an invitation of the Vice Chancellor over some criminal allegations which the police were investigating.

    He also stated that the petition against the applicants is not only in respect of frauds allegedly perpetrated as Vice Chancellor from February 2021, but includes his tenure from 2017, when he was Deputy Vice Chancellor in charge of Administration till February, 2021 when he became the Vice Chancellor of the Federal University.

    The police counsel added that the Vice Chancellor has been heading more than eleven (11) committees as Deputy Vice Chancellor from 2017 to February, 2021 before he became the Vice Chancellor and these committees dealt with contracts and other financial engagements.

    The deponent also averred that the Vice Chancellor as the then Chairman of TETfund Committee of the university and about other 10 committees, allegedly fraudulently converted to himself and laundered about N13, 864, 925.00 through his son, Fasina Oluwadamilola Tosin, who is a post-graduate student at Sterling University, Scotland.

    The deponent averred that, “it’s untrue that the applicants are being or about to be intimidated, do not investigate civil transaction(s) and we have not introduced any criminal element in any civil matter.

    The counsel said that the applicants are yet to honour the police invitation, adding that, the petition and documents before his office relate to criminal infractions allegedly committed by the applicants.

    Furthermore, the deponent stated that from the available documents in record obtained in the course of investigation of the petition against the applicants revealed that, the Vice Chancellor is involved in fraudulent conversion of funds from Ekiti State University as salaries while he was still receiving salaries as Deputy Vice Chancellor in charge of Administration at Federal University Oye-Ekiti.

    He also stated that it is only a comprehensive and complete police investigation that will determine whether or not the applicants are culpable, adding that, the applicants filed the suit to intimidate and circumvent police investigation and possibly to escape the long arm of justice.

    The deponent while asking the court to dismiss the applicants suit for being frivolous, hoodwink, also asked the court to award a huge cost against the applicants.
