Below are some of the comments;
“Over 60 students dragged out of their beds in the middle of the night, on the first day of the month. Privacy invaded, properties stolen, and some students were even made to make transfers by officials of the EFCC! What insolence! What an insult to Great Ife!”
“I pray the aluta spirit to resist unfair and unjust treatment is still in OAU
I want to believe they really messed with the wrong school
Cos those students must come back safely and those involved should pay
Breaking down a lady’s door in the middle of the night”“Imagine sleeping then waking up to a banging on your door. You think it’s a thief but no, EFCC officials raided student home and carried 60 students and their properties. They basically broke the door and kidnapped them, wtf. This country is terrible”
