Ilorin varsity dismisses rumour of cult-related clashes

ILLORIN (Sundiata Scholar) -The management of the University of Ilorin on Monday dismissed rumours of a clash involving cult groups in the institution.Mr Kunle Akogun, Director, Corporate Affairs Department of the University, told newsmen that the rumour was “unfounded and untruthful”.“

The attention of the management of the University of Ilorin has been drawn to a tweet on X platform (formerly Twitter), by one Naija Confra (@naijaconfra), on a purported cult clash at the University.“

The tweet failed to provide details as to where on campus the purported clash took place, an omission that instantly gave a lie to it.“We feel duty bound to disabuse the minds of our stakeholders, including students and parents.

Nothing of such occurred at the University of Ilorin ‘a few days ago’, or at any time whatsoever.“For the avoidance of doubt, the University of Ilorin remains entirely cult-free, a status it has maintained for some time now,” he said.

Akogun reiterated that the purported cult clash, as reported by Naija Confra, “is entirely the figment of his wild imagination and has nothing to do with the University of Ilorin”. (NAN)
