The University of Ilorin Alumni Association has called on the police and the Department of State Services, DSS, to invite the former national president of the Association, Dr Wale Fashakin for questioning, for allegedly impersonating the current national president of the Association, Professor Abdulrazaq Kilani.

The Association, in a press release, signed by the National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olorunsuwa Elijah Ola, said Fashakin, a former media assistant to the late Chief MKO Abiola, is capable of causing a breach peace in University of Ilorin.

The association noted a recent visit to the Controller General of the Nigerian Immigration Service, Kemi Nanna Nandap and a recent purported inauguration of the Board of Trustee for the Association by Fashakin while allegedly impersonating Professor Kilani.

According to the statement, Fashakin’s tenure as the national president of the association came to an abrupt end in 2021 when he was removed from office by the decision of the congress.

He was said to have been removed from office for alleged abuse of office, high handedness, and betrayer of the association's trust and constitution.

The association further explained that a Caretaker Committee was for 3 years in the saddle of the association's activities till August 24th, 2024, in his stead.

On August 24, 2024, the statement said, a congress was held to usher in a new set of Executive with Professor Kilani as the nation president.

The congress, it was said, held six months after his tenure, assuming he was not removed through a Congress resolution.

“The Executive Committee of the University of Ilorin Alumni Association has been made aware that Dr. Wale Fashakin continues to impersonate the President of the Association.

“His recent impersonation of the University of Ilorin Alumni Association President at different fora is a shameful and unacceptable act.

“This behavior undermines the integrity of the association and brings discredit to the esteemed reputation of the institution.

“For the records, his tenure came to an abrupt end in 2021 through a resolution of Congress due to gross abuse of office, high handedness, and betrayer of the association's trust and constitution.

“In his stead, a Caretaker Committee was for 3 years in the saddle of the association's activities till August 24th, 2024, when election was held to usher in a new set of Executive.

“It should be noted that the election held 6 months after his tenure, assuming he was not removed through a Congress resolution.

“In the same vein, we invite the Nigerian Police and the Department of State Security Service to invite him for questioning as his action is capable of causing a breach of the University of Ilorin's peace,” the statement read.
