A yet-to-be-ascertained number of students of the Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA) have been arrested by officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in a midnight raid of hostels outside the campus in the early hours of Wednesday.
The operatives stormed students’ lodges around Orita Obele, Road block at about 2am, broke into rooms, and arrested the students.
It was gathered that many of the students first thought the anti-graft agency operatives were kidnappers until much later, when they found that they were EFCC officials.
“The officials did not only destroy our properties, most of the students arrested were assaulted and brutalised. Even female students were assaulted.
