Credible intelligence linked Oduduwa Estate with activities of suspected internet fraudsters,\u201d the anti-graft agency said.<\/p>\n<p>Confirming the release to our correspondent at 8:51pm on Wednesday, Eruobami said, &#8220;58 students have been released.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It is hoped that the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led government will quickly rise to the occasion and prevent the situation from getting out of hand, reminiscent of what happened a few years ago during the ENDSARS crisis.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Bayo Davids No less than 72 students of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife have been confirmed missing following a raid on two hostels of the famous citadel of learning.&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":97486,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-109026","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
