A Benin High Court has acquitted Dr. Omowumi Olabode Steven Ekundayo, a University of Benin lecturer, of alleged rape charges after a three-year legal battle. The court cited a lack of substantial proof and evidence against the accused ¹ ².

The case began on October 5, 2021, when Ekundayo was accused of raping a 21-year-old 400-level female student in his office at the Faculty Complex. The incident sparked widespread outrage, leading to Ekundayo's arrest, detention, and arraignment for alleged rape ¹.

During the trial, the prosecution team failed to provide sufficient evidence to prove the allegations beyond reasonable doubt. The judge, Justice Mary Itsueli, noted that even if the alleged victim's claims were taken at face value, there was no substantial proof or evidence to establish sexual intercourse or rape ¹.

Key Points of the Verdict:

- Lack of Evidence: The prosecution team failed to tender the University Health Centre Medical Test Report as an exhibit, which would have supported their claims ¹.
- No Corroborating Witnesses: The evidence of the alleged victim was not corroborated by the other five prosecution witnesses ¹.
- No Signs of Rape: The medical report from Vivian Centre, conducted a day after the alleged incident, failed to scientifically show evidence of rape ¹.
- No Physical Evidence: The police report stated that there were no bruises on the bodies of the accused and alleged victim, no torn clothes, and the office where the alleged rape occurred showed no signs of forced entry ¹.

Justice Itsueli ultimately dismissed the case due to lack of evidence and acquitted Ekundayo of the alleged rape charges ¹ ².

Court Acquits UNIBEN Lecturer, Ekundayo, Of Rape Charges After Three Years

The Edo State Police Command has announced the arrest of the suspected killer of a graduate of the University of Benin (UNIBEN), Glory Adekolure.
The victim was reported to have gone to school (UNIBEN) for her final clearance on June 13, 2024, but her remains were found under a tree on a street in the Iyowa Community of Benin City, the Edo State capital.

However, fifteen days after Miss Adekolure’s death, the Edo State Police Command said the suspect was apprehended in Delta State.

In an interview with Channels Television on Friday, the Edo State Commissioner of Police, Funsho Adegboye, mentioned that the suspected murderer was nabbed in Asaba, the Delta State capital.

He mentioned that the suspect is yet to be paraded, adding that an investigation is still ongoing into the incident.

According to the CP, the suspect confessed to the killing of no fewer than seven other young women.

A video circulating on Instagram has captured the intense scene at the University of Benin (UNIBEN) main gate, where students have staged a protest over prolonged power outage on campus. The situation escalated as police and other security outfit attempted to restore order, but the students remained steadfast in their demonstration.

The UNIBEN students, fueled by the spirit of Aluta (a term associated with student activism), blocked the Benin-Ore Highway, causing disruptions to traffic flow. Their demands centered around the need for consistent electricity supply within the university premises.

@the_flawless2 (7 minutes ago): “Make them go check wetin we do for Tasued that year. Benin Ore road shutdown… Spirit of Aluta… God bless y’all comrades.”

Another student commented, “Omo, God bless every one of you… The front is strong ?; it gives the back courage to pull back and reinforce. Does force wan use action scare them off before.”

The situation remains tense as both students and police officers stand their ground. UNIBEN authorities are yet to issue an official statement regarding the power outage or the ongoing protest. We will continue to monitor developments and provide updates as they unfold.

Astorey building collapsed during a heavy downpour on Saturday morning in Benin City, Edo State, trapping several students from the University of Benin (UNIBEN).

It was gathered that the incident occurred on Ekhator Street, Ekosodin, an area known for housing students.

One of the students, who preferred to remain anonymous, told SaharaReporters that a university rescue team managed to extract some of the trapped occupants, though several were severely injured.

He added that the injured victims were promptly rushed to the hospital for medical treatment.

"The rescue team is still searching for one victim who remains trapped inside the rubble. It was reported that the victim called from inside the building, pleading for help, and efforts are ongoing to locate and rescue them," the student said.

The Dean of Students from UNIBEN is reportedly on the scene, coordinating rescue efforts alongside the university team.

At the time of reporting, the university management has yet to release an official statement regarding the cause of the collapse or the total number of individuals affected by the incident.

However, rescue operations are ongoing as of the time of filing this report.

And if this is you then I strongly advise you read to the end.

Allow me to share my experience with you, if you find yourself in need of UNIBEN TRANSCRIPT ESPECIALLY…

When I applied for my computer science transcript, I encountered unending and irritating delays... And it happens for several reasons 

However, a fellow church member who also happened to be a Uniben employee came to my aid. He not only explained the reasons for the delays, but he also provided assistance and helped me to fast-track it. You might well be a victim of the system if you're not told. Probably you have applied, and gone to sleep. You will be surprised that nothing is being done about it, until you get someone to monitor it and help you fast track it.

My transcript was completed in one month and one week thanks to his aid. His understanding of the system has assisted a number of people who have faced similar difficulties, as many have lost several opportunities because of this very issue.

If you have applied and needed it urgently (as the deadline is closing on you), or you have waited so long up to a year now and have lost all hopes.

> Management of the University of Benin (UNIBEN) has lauded the University of Benin Alumni Association North America (UBAANA) for its kind donation of the sum of N5,760,000,00 to the University Management.

The University’s appreciation message was conveyed in a letter addressed to the President and members of UBAANA by the Vice Chancellor, Professor Lilian Salami.

A copy of the letter made available to CAMPUS GIST was dated November 28, 2022, and titled “letter of acknowledgement and appreciation.”

The donation by UBAANA, this online media reliably gathered, is for the purchase of computers and other accessories to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the Exams and Records Division of the University.

Meanwhile, the University has since utilised the donation for the purchase of computers and other accessories to enhance the processing and issuance of transcripts to its Alumni worldwide.

The Vice Chancellor, who noted this, thanked UBAANA President, Mr Alex Eronmwon and members of the Association for the kind gesture and assured that the items would be used for the purpose for which they were meant for.

Since inception, UBAANA has been actively involved in rallying support for the development of its Alma mater, offering tremendous help to the present administration. Only recently, the Association built and donated a relaxation centre to the Ekehuan campus of the University, in giving back to the society.

AKPATA AND UNIBEN INCIDENT: THE UNRAVELING PARADOX OF AN "UNLAWYERLY" LAWYER

Being a lawyer involves upholding professional standards and etiquette. Lawyers are generally expected to conduct themselves with professionalism, integrity, and most importantly, respect towards others.

This was however not the case with former NBA President Olumide Akpata who on Friday, showed the other side of the coin when he descended into the arena to refer to students as hoodlums and went on to brazenly unleash the firepower of his security details on students for simply seeking to have an interaction with him. 

The Labour Party Governorship Candidate was a guest of the Senior Staff Association of the University of Benin for an interactive session at the senior staff club at the Ugbowo campus.

However, in the course of the event, some students arrived the venue to have a dialogue with him and ascertain his plans for Students if elected Governor of Edo State

Rather than give them audience, Akpata proceeded to call the students hoodlums, an action which further infuriated them and led to a protest. 

The ensuing protest resulted in an overzealous security operative opening fire in order to dispel the students, creating a fracas that could have been avoided in which a UNIBEN staff and some students were injured.

Barrister Akpata's action showed him to be arrogant, impetuous and entitled. As an alumnus of the institution, it is expected that Barrister Akpata would have been able to address the students in a conciliatory tone that will assuage their feelings and create room for a more cordial and robust relationship with the students.
But then, it would appear that violence is never quite far from the pugilistic Akpata.

It will be recalled that Akpata, as NBA President, oversaw the most shameful NBA-Annual General Conference in 2022 that was marred by violence as Committee members loyal to him clashed with lawyers who were protesting against the inadequate supply of conference materials. 

In the build up to the primaries of the Labour Party, the same Olumide Akpata orchestrated the brutalisation of Labour Party National Chairman Julius Abure and used the police to harass and intimidate him when he felt that the Party primaries and congresses were not going his way.

It is thus no surprise that security operatives attached to him would resort to shooting sporadically in a bid to dispel protesting students. 
Such high-handedness is totally unacceptable.

It is even more despicable to desecrate a revered tertiary Institution like the Great University of Benin and intimidate students with his security details. 

In the immortal words of former British Prime Minister, Benjamin Disraeli, "A University should be a place of light, of liberty, and of learning." It is a grave moral evil to dishonour the sanctity of the University with such violence.

The desperation of Partisan politics has no place within the hallowed walls of a university and it is the barest minimum for any civil person to respect it.

The ugly incident of Friday is a sneak preview of what might likely happen if Edo State ever has the misfortune of having Olumide Akpata as Governor.

Akpata And Uniben Incident: The Unraveling Paradox  Of An "Unlawyerly" Lawyer

Edo govt condemns clash between LP candidate, Akpata and UNIBEN SUG

The Edo State Government condemns in the strongest terms the violence associated with the Labour Party candidate, Mr. Olumide Akpata's visit to the University of Benin on Friday, April 12, 2024.

Claims and counterclaims have been made by Mr. Akpata and the Student Union Government (SUG) of the University in statements issued by both parties on April 13, and active investigation is ongoing on the issue.

The Edo State Government, however, warns in the strongest terms that it will not tolerate violence or this sort of irresponsible behaviour which was associated with the visit of Mr. Akpata to the institution.

Government has the primary responsibility to ensure the security of lives and property in the State and will spare no effort to ensure that anyone who breaches the peace, no matter how highly placed, will face the full weight of the law.

We hereby call on all Edo people to go about their lawful businesses without let as relevant agencies progress with their investigation into the said matter.

Edo Govt Condemns Clash Between LP Candidate, Akpata And UNIBEN SUG

> The recent remarks made by the former Vice-Chancellor of the University of Benin, Professor Lilian Salami, labeling the majority of UNIBEN students as “uncultured” and likening the institution to a motor park, are not only deeply offensive but a clear attempt to deflect attention from her administration’s failings.

Her derogatory comments serve as an unwarranted attack on students who were left with no other recourse but to protest against the systemic neglect and poor living conditions under her leadership.

A Misguided Administration: Neglecting Students for Aesthetic Projects

Throughout her tenure, Professor Salami prioritized the beautification of the university’s environment, focusing on trees, grasses, and flowers while leaving critical student welfare issues unaddressed.

It is worth asking: What good is a serene campus environment if the students within it are subjected to substandard living conditions? Dormitories, which should have been safe havens for learning and personal growth, often lack basic amenities such as water and electricity.

Students were forced to live in overcrowded and dilapidated hostels while the administration turned a blind eye to their suffering. Food vendors operate without proper regulations, leading to frequent cases of food poisoning.

Meanwhile, the Vice-Chancellor’s office was more concerned with external appearances, prioritizing manicured lawns over the well-being of the university’s most important stakeholders — the students.

A History of Protests

Under Professor Salami’s administration, protests became the norm rather than the exception. Students repeatedly raised their voices against the administration’s inability to address their legitimate demands for improved living conditions, affordable tuition, and functional facilities.

Rather than addressing these concerns, the administration often responded with hostility and repression. Instead of seeing these protests as a cry for help, Professor Salami has chosen to describe these students as “uncultured.”

But what is truly uncultured is an administration that consistently ignored its responsibilities, forcing students into the streets to demand what should have been theirs by right.

From blocked highways to sit-ins, these protests were borne out of frustration with a leadership that refused to listen or act in the interest of the student body.

The former Vice-Chancellor’s recent comments reveal not just a lack of understanding of the challenges faced by UNIBEN students but also her inability to take responsibility for her failures.

By blaming students for their own plight, she exposes her lack of empathy and leadership skills.

Strong leaders face challenges head-on and work collaboratively to find solutions. Weak leaders, on the other hand, deflect blame and seek excuses for their ineptitude.

Professor Salami’s administration will be remembered for its incompetence and ineffectiveness. Rather than addressing the core issues affecting students, she sought to silence them with dismissive remarks, hoping to shift public focus away from her years of mismanagement.

This is not the hallmark of a leader but of someone desperate to salvage a tarnished legacy.

Students Are Not the Problem; They Are the Victims

It is essential to set the record straight: UNIBEN students are not the problem. They are the victims of years of neglect and mismanagement.

The “uncultured” label used by Professor Salami is both baseless and insulting. It fails to acknowledge the resilience and courage of these students, who have continued to excel academically and personally despite the odds stacked against them.

Instead of painting students as troublemakers, Professor Salami should reflect on the systemic issues that led to their protests.

Why were students forced to block highways? Why were basic needs like water, electricity, and security left unmet? Why was the administration so quick to dismiss their concerns?

These are the questions that demand answers.

A Call for Accountability and Apology

We demand an unreserved apology from Professor Salami for her remarks, which have done nothing but further alienate students who suffered under her leadership.

Her comments do not reflect the values of the University of Benin or the hardworking students who continue to bring honour to the institution despite its challenges.

Furthermore, it is imperative that future administrations learn from these failures. A university is not just a collection of buildings and greenery; it is a community built around its students.

Their welfare must be the top priority, not an afterthought.

In conclusion, Professor Lilian Salami’s comments are a feeble attempt to deflect attention from her administration’s glaring failures.

Rather than owning up to her shortcomings, she has chosen to insult the very students whose lives she failed to improve.

History will remember her not as a leader but as a symbol of misplaced priorities and unfulfilled promises.

It is time for the University of Benin to turn a new page, one that centres on student welfare and restores the dignity of its academic community.

Prof. Edoba Omorogie, SAN Emerges UNIBEN New VC

Post Graduate Students of the University of Benin — UNIBEN — have taken a stand against the autocratic and high-handedness leadership of the Postgraduate Students’ Association, led by Dr Christopher Ovie, Platinum News is reporting

In a meeting with the Vice Chancellor, represented by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Admin), Professor Mrs Catherine Ufumwen Ukponmwan, on Tuesday, August 27, 2024, the students expressed their grievances against Dr. Ovie’s administration. The students cited gross misconduct, maladministration, abuse of power, and overstay of tenure.

Spokesperson for the Congress Planning Committee, Comrade Charles Idehen, presented the students’ demands. The demands include the immediate removal of Dr. Ovie from office, the inauguration of a Congress Planning Committee to oversee election processes. Additionally, the placement of a Post No Debit (PND) on the association’s account until a new executive is inaugurated.

Comrade Confidence Obasi, supported these demands, emphasizing the abuse of power and overstay of tenure by Dr. Ovie-led “executives”.

The University’s top officials, including the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Ekenwan Campus), Professor Ayinde, and the Dean of Postgraduate School, Professor Aliyu, acknowledged the students’ concerns. The officials however assured them that the school management would investigate and take necessary actions.

The Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Admin) requested a copy of the constitution drafted by Dr. Ovie for review and promised to get back to the students after meeting with Dr. Ovie.

This development comes amidst growing concerns about the leadership of the postgraduate student association at the University of Benin, where Dr. Chris Ovie has been in office since 2018.

Meanwhile, the students awaits the Academic Staff Union of University, UNIBEN branch’s meeting this Thursday. The meeting is expected to call off the ASUU strike that has lingered for long.

A student at the University of Benin (UNIBEN) has found herself at the centre of a campus scandal after allegedly stealing her roommate's 20-inch bone straight hair and cutting it down to 8 inches to attend a concert by popular Nigerian artist, Rema.

The incident quickly spread across campus, drawing widespread attention and ridicule. As news of the theft circulated, other students gathered to witness the scene as officials from the UNIBEN surveillance team apprehended the student involved.

> The Edo State Police Command has summoned Olumide Akpata, the Labour Party (LP) gubernatorial candidate for the September 21, 2024 election, and the Edo Chairman of LP, Comrade Kelly Ogbaloi, in connection with the violence that occurred last Friday at the Ugbowo main campus of the University of Benin (UNIBEN).

According to Chidi Nwabuzor, spokesperson for the command, Akpata and Ogbaloi are requested to engage with investigators at the political desk section of the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) at the command’s headquarters in Benin.

Ogbaloi, who accompanied Akpata to his alma mater, UNIBEN, for his investiture by the university’s Senior Staff Club, confirmed the police’s invitation but emphasized that the incident was Akpata’s private matter and unrelated to the LP.

“Akpata is our governorship candidate, but UNIBEN invited him to honour him on a personal note,” Ogbaloi stated.

“I did not sign surety of his safety there. I do not know why the police are also inviting me and to come with Akpata,” he added.

Despite being away from Benin when the police’s invitation was received, Ogbaloi noted that he intended to honour it.

The management of UNIBEN had strongly condemned the violence during Akpata’s visit, establishing a committee to investigate the incident.

Dr. Benedicta Ehanire, UNIBEN’s spokesperson, emphasized the institution’s stance against such violent acts, declaring them unacceptable.

I ran the JUPEB Program which earned me direct entry to 200L, the transformation from Lagos to Benin was not easy at all but I persevered, I continued All Campus Show here in Benin and I also started a restaurant, now I am flying well with long wings. 

“Although there were lots of challenges like the ASUU strikes, hunger, the lack of power supply, the pressure, loneliness and all, I always encouraged myself throughout the process.” He said

Most of his Thespian’17 colleagues equally signing out as well, were amazed by his unusual appearance for the occasion as it stirred up mixed reactions from them. 

We asked why he changed his appearance and 
according to him,
“Today is my signing out, and I originated the concept of dying my hair to white as a display of Creativity. A Thespian must always be creative, so instead of wearing white clothes for people to sign on it, I tinted my hair white and as you can see, The inscription on the black T-shirt I'm putting on says 'Sign on my head' 

However, I did that because I really do not enjoy the so called classmates because of some certain attitude display , you may not understand, but I believe they do, Although some of them are good , I don't do what they are doinI. In a bid to be creative, I wrote 'Sign on my head' on my outfit. And I doubt they will do so.” he stated.

Rounding off the interview, ACS Correspondent, Miss Melanie Joel, Congratulated the great publisher on behalf of the entire ACS Crew as she relayed the wishes of the Crew members to him. 

Jobus expressed gratitude again to God, and his crew members, as he also thanked his Parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ojo and his siblings for their support. 

He also mentioned in appreciation former SUG President of UNIBEN, Raymond Omorogbe and his cousin, Uyi Valentine, who both assisted him in all ramifications, including shelter. 

Furthermore, he thanked his lecturers who taught him, and commended them for giving their best amidst strikes and all issues and choosing to contribute to the success of their Students.

He also encouraged others interested in going to school to do so without hesitations, adding that they can even do so, while working. 

“The stress is for a while, go to classes, write test and exams, behave yourself and also know that the country we are in, will not help you, as things have changed. Before now, they say, face your books, but now I want to tell you to face your books and your career too. Share the responsibilities on your career and book, don't focus on academics alone, it doesn't work like that again, unless if your parents have where to fix you after school, then you can far your academics 100 percent but otherwise, do the needful. He concluded.

THE ONLY WAY TO GET YOUR TRANSCRIPT NOW …

Dear Reader…
If you need your transcription URGENTLY FROM UNIBEN, there's WAY out now. 

And if this is you then I strongly advise you read to the end.

Allow me to share my experience with you, if you find yourself in need of UNIBEN transcripts urgently and now…
When I applied for my computer science transcript, I encountered unending and irritating delays... And it happens for several reasons 

However, a fellow church member who also happened to be a Uniben employee came to my aid. He not only explained the reasons for the delays, but he also provided assistance and helped me to fast-track it. You might well be a victim of the system if you're not told. Probably you have applied, and went to sleep. You will be surprised that nothing is being done about it, until you get someone to monitor it and help you fast track it.

My transcript was completed in one month and one week thanks to his aid. His understanding of the system has assisted a number of people who have faced similar difficulties, as many have lost several opportunities because of this very issue.

If you have applied and needed it urgently (as the deadline is closing on you), or you have waited so long up to a year now and has lost all hopes.
Maybe you just applied but don't want to experience the pain and experience of others, then you're just one click away from getting this problem solved.

> The management of the University of Benin (UNIBEN), in Edo State, has suspended Students’ Union of the institution indefinitely and with immediate effect.

CAMPUS GIST reports that the suspension of the Students’ Union is following the incident that happened at the University’s Senior Staff Club on Friday 12th April, 2024.

Members of the Students' Union were said to have invaded an interactive session by staff of the university with the Edo 2024 governorship candidate of Labour Party, Olumide Akpata and in the process reportedly demanded a halt of the event, over alleged claims that they (Students’ Union) were not informed of the event.

In the process, a senior lecturer and member of the institution’s Academic Staff of the Universities (ASUU), was reportedly attacked, injured and eventually landed in the hospital.

Following the incident, management of the university announced the set up of a panel to investigate the incident with a view to unraveling the immediate and remote causes of the incident.

Consequently, in a statement signed by A.A. Bobola, Registrar of the university, Monday, he said the Vice Chancellor has approved the suspension of the University’s Students Union after due consideration of the Panel’s report.

The statement partly reads: “The suspension which is indefinite, takes immediate effect, that is, from today, Monday 29h April, 2024.

“Accordingly, all Officers of the Students’ Union are to handover all properties of the Union in their possession to the Dean, Students’ Affairs not later 4.00pm on Tuesday 30 April, 2024.

“In the interim, a Caretaker Committee composed of representatives of Faculties, Schools and Institutes has been approved to coordinate students’ activities during the period of suspension.”

“The above directive of the Vice Chancellor is hereby communicated for the attention of the University Community and compliance of the erstwhile Union Officers as appropriate.”

Reacting to the development in a terse statement made available to CAMPUS GIST midnight Monday, the President of the UNIBEN Students' Union, Comrade Alpha-King Lemuel Osahon, called on the students to remain calm, saying, 'we are on the matter.'
