A man who is reported to have disguised as an invigilator has been arrested for stealing phones during an examination in Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife, Osun state.
According to the report, the man whose identity is yet to be confirmed is an extra-year student who had some spillover courses, as such he was still on campus to write them.
On the fateful day of the incident, he paraded himself as an exam invigilator and entered the exam centres where he started pilfering students’ phones.
The undergraduates allegedly caught him red-handed and shamed him with chants of Ole Ole! (the Yoruba word for thief).
A video that surfaced online showed some students running after him as campus security whisked him away after being arrested.
This comes a month after a final-year student at the school, identified as Okolie Ahize of the Department of Civil Engineering was lynched by a mob.
Ahize was allegedly caught for the theft of a mobile phone at Awolowo Hall of Residence of the institution.
The student was confirmed dead on arrival at the Emergency Medicine Department of Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital Complex on Tuesday afternoon after being subjected to a series of torture.
The OAU management has since condemned the lynching
