Prof. Adebiyi Daramola, the embattled Vice Chancellor of the crisis-ridden Federal University of Technology Akure (FUTA), in Ondo State, was this morning arrested after he hit a member of staff of the institution with his car, SR reports.
Abiodun Ademola Atunbi of the Non-Academic Staff Union (NASU) member of FUTA was allegedly crushed to the point of death, and was rushed to the hospital. The incident happened on the main campus at about 8:30a.m. as some members of staff of the institution were gathering at a meeting point for prayers.
Several aggrieved members of staff of the school converged at the Senate building following the incident. Many of them trooped out to the street and made a bonfire as a sign of protest against the V.C’s wickedness, described by one of them as a deliberate action taken out of anger to kill Mr. Atunbi, who was one of the activists agitating for his removal from office.
One source told SaharaReporters that Atunbi was on his way to the prayer ground but was attacked by Prof. Daramola with his vehicle immediately the V.C saw him. “He deliberately did it with the aim of killing Atunbi who he sees as a threat and whistleblower to his corrupt administration in the school,” he said.
“This is a man that has been threatening to kill all of us who are agitating for his removal from the office following the discovery of his corrupt practices with the school treasury," he added.
