The University of Ibadan (UI) has handed over four more members of staff of its Distance Learning Centre to the Department of State Services (DSS) for questioning over alleged examination malpractices at the centre.
UI Director of Communications, Olatunji Oladejo, confirmed this to Punchng.com on Tuesday.

The institution had on October 17 handed over six of its staff to the DSS over their involvement in examination malpractices.
“The university’s zero tolerance for any form of examination malpractice is very dear to the management. Just today, the management asked the DSS to whisk away four non-teaching staff in the centre. They are not UI lecturers but workers in the centre,” Mr Oladejo said.
He added that the exercise would continue until all culprits are brought to book.
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), UI chapter, also on Tuesday, re-emphasised that none of its members was part of the UI staff arrested for examination malpractices.

Omole maintained that academic staff had not been fingered in, or linked to, the fraud, adding that no one should drag them into it.
The ASUU chairman said that aside from 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.
