A course representative of Ignatius Ajuru University, identified as Henry Boma Ekine, and his assistant, Princess Boniface, have been accused of embezzling N6.4 million textbook funds paid to them.

The accountancy department course rep’s photos and that of his assistant made the rounds on social media, with unconfirmed reports claiming that the university declared them wanted.

Giving more insight into the incident, a Facebook user, Iwor Romgbo, stated that the course rep and his assistant were declared wanted by the university for running away with the whopping sum.

According to Iwor, the money was paid by over 150 final-year students for four different textbooks. A petition written to the dean of the faculty dated August 11 showed the textbooks paid for include financial accounting, corporate finance, tax and tax management and management accounting.
