A new Vice-Chancellor has been appointed for the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta. He is Prof. Felix Salako.

They were arraigned before Justice O.O. Majekodunmi by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on an 18-count charge bordering on intention to defraud, conspiracy to defraud, stealing and conversion of N1.5 million property of FUNAAB and unlawful deposit of N442.8 million in fixed deposit account without due process.

Oyewole and Ogunlewe were granted N50 million bail each, while Ilesanmi was sent back to EFCC custody because his counsel, Mr Adedamola Lapite, arrived the court late for the hearing of his bail application.
