Court grants ex-OAU VC, bursar bail

An Osun State High Court has granted bail to an ex-Acting Vice Chancellor of Obafemi Awolowo University, Prof. Anthony Elujoba and the bursar of the university, Mrs Aderonke Akeredolu, who are standing trial for alleged stealing.

Justice David Oladimeji granted bail to the accused persons in the ruling he delivered yesterday.

Elujoba was granted bail on self-recognition, while the bursar was granted bail in the sum of N50 million and two sureties.

Elujoba and Akeredolu are being prosecuted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on seven counts of stealing among other charges.

Scores of OAU workers and students had laid siege to the Ede High Court on Tuesday and forced the judge to reverse his earlier order that Elujoba and the bursar should be remanded at Ilesa Prison.
