Academic Staff Union Of Universities (ASUU) At The Federal University Of Technology, Oye Ekiti, Dr Ezekiel Adeyemi, Was Abducted From His Residence In Lagos State.

Adeyemi was abducted from his house around 2am on Saturday and driven to Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State, on the allegation he had concluded arrangements to assassinate the university’s Vice Chancellor, Professor Abayomi Fasina.

However, in order to frustrate Dr. Adeyemi from resuming his duties the University filed an appeal at the Supreme Court.

Since the Supreme Court lacks jurisdiction in respect of labour matters, Dr. Adeyemi has dragged the University counsel to the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee for filing the frivolous appeal,” one of the top sources in the university familiar with the matter explained.

“Dr. Ezekiel Olugbenga Adeyemi, one of the leaders of the Academic Staff Union of Universities at the Federal University of Technology, Oye Ekiti was abducted in his house in Lagos at 2.00 this morning and driven to Ado,  Ekiti State.

The allegation against him is that he has concluded arrangements to assassinate the Vice Chancellor, Professor Abayomi Sunday Fasina.

The appeal was recently dismissed by the Court of Appeal due to lack of diligent prosecution by the University.

However, in order to frustrate Dr. Adeyemi from resuming his duties the University filed an appeal at the Supreme Court.

Since the Supreme Court lacks jurisdiction in respect of labour matters, Dr. Adeyemi has dragged the University counsel to the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee for filing the frivolous appeal,” top sources at the university explained.

Reacting to the abduction, his counsel, Femi Falana, demanded the immediate release of Adeyemi, saying he would protest to the Nigerian police to stop the culture of nocturnal invasion of the houses of suspects.

He demanded for immediate release of Dr. Adeyemi who has always taken advantage of the law to challenge the serial violations of his rights. In an era of kidnapping the nocturnal arrest is totally wrong.

As he expressed, I will protest to police authority to stop nocturnal invasion of the houses of suspects
