LSS OAU Alleges Erstwhile President Of Misappropriating Funds

By
The Law Student Representative Council ( LSRC),OAU made a release concerning petition that had been submitted before the Division of Student Affairs by Dewaleowo (Nig.) Enterprises, the company contracted for printing the Advocate Journal, alleging that Yusuf Amuda Adeyemi Lateef-led administration was in debt totalling #150,000, being the balance of the payment for the printing of 300 copies of the aforementioned journal.    
   Another petition hit, this time jointly by two graduating members of the society namely Akinade Lawal and Adegbola Aliy Adedayo. This was for a debt of #104,000 incurred during the execution of their duties as the Chairmen of the Law Week Committee and Publications Committee respectively. They, like the printer of the Advocate Journal, had been promised to be paid in due time, but the time was never due. There was also disgruntlement amongst members of the society who had paid for Law Week jerseys during the aforementioned administration, but the jerseys, and their monies as well, were nowhere to be found.

    It was stated in a release that the erstwhile president of the society was summoned for the sitting, as well as the erstwhile Financial Secretary, Treasurer, General Secretary, Chairmen of the Law Week Committee and Publications Committee. The erstwhile President communicated back to the House on his unavailability for the sitting, and how he had conferred his representation upon the erstwhile Financial Secretary. This was however denied vehemently by the erstwhile Financial Secretary at the sitting, and thus, seen as a waiver of the erstwhile President's right to fair hearing.
The council claimed that about #800,000 of the #1,000,000 donated by the honoree of the Advocate Journal for the printing of 1,000 copies of the journal had been diverted towards other uses without the consent of the house, and unaccounted for by the last adminstration.
It was also stated that the erstwhile general secretary is preparing a petition against same administration because he is said to have been owed as well as another member of the society called DJ MILES, who is still being owed #25,000 being the DJ fee for the Law Dinner.
It was however resolved that in an efforts to remedy some the mistakes of the last administration, the LSRC dissociates themselves from the erstwhile President .

The debate is part of the events that have been prepared for Fresher’s Week 2024. The event experienced a slight delay, as the venue was moved from the 1000-seater to Oduduwa Hall by the order of the school management, which requested that the initial venue be vacated because the office of the Vice President, responsible for the event, failed to seek permission before using it.

MOREMI HALL: A Tale of Night Stories: When Will It End? In the quiet corridors of Moremi Hall, a disturbing series of events has shaken the residents, raising questions about security and the unknown intentions of an elusive intruder.   It all started two weeks ago when the inhabitants of Moremi Hall were awoken to the cry of a lady, "Ole! Ole! (the Yoruba name for thief). At exactly 5:00 am, a guy who was wearing a mask was seen darting across the corridors. He was said to have stolen phones, and while he tried to escape, he was seen by some ladies who raised the alarm.   An eyewitness who will like to remain anonymous said he ran out of the kitchen and jumped down from the second floor to the ground. He sustained minor injuries, and to reduce the chase, he let go of the phones, which he had put in black nylon.   The Moremi residents were able to recover their phones, but he escaped through a gutter, and no one knows where he went. The porters were informed i...
