The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), University of Ibadan chapter, has said that no single academic staff was involved in the examination malpractices allegedly discovered at the institution’s distance learning centre (DLC).
ASUU chairman, Prof Deji Omole, said this on Tuesday in reaction to the arrest of six UI staff by the Department of State Services (DSS) on October 17 over their involvement in examination malpractices.

The suspects were released on Monday on administrative bail.
Omole maintained that academic staff had not been fingered in, or linked to, the fraud, adding that no one should drag them into it.
He explained that the union was not against punishing anyone linked to the fraud.

The ASUU chairman said that aside the fact that the university had a standing committee, ASUU also had its own standing committee on ethics and standard dealing with ethical and unethical issues.
He said that the union would not take any wrong accusation against its members lightly.
