Mr Ayo Oyewole, Head of Public Affairs, EFCC, Ibadan Office, told NAN on Wednesday that the commission quizzed the two men based on the petition it received against them.

He said that the duo were alleged to be involved in corruption, fraud, criminal breach of trust, unlawful enrichment, conversion of millions of naira belonging to the university.

Help Isaac Represent South Africa in Prague – A Young Athlete’s Dream Deserves Your Support

13-Year-Old Nigerian-Born Softball Talent Selected for International Tour – Let’s Make It Happen Together

At just 13 years old, Isaac Solarin has achieved what many only dream of – he’s been selected to represent South Africa on the international stage in the Softball Tour to Prague, scheduled for October 5–14, 2025.
But for Isaac, this is more than just a sporting opportunity. It’s a life-changing moment—a chance to shine, grow, and inspire.
Born to Nigerian parents and raised in South Africa, Isaac has shown remarkable dedication both on and off the field. His exceptional performance at a provincial tournament last year caught the attention of Blue Runnings Sport International (BRSI), a top South African organization that facilitates global exposure for promising young athletes. Partnering with IRT Softball, they extended a rare invitation to Isaac—making him the only Nigerian-born athlete on the team.
 A Mother’s Pride, A Community’s Hope
Behind every rising star is a story of quiet sacrifice. For Mrs. Doris Solarin-Ikeri, Isaac’s mother and a widow, the journey has been both challenging and rewarding.
“I’m proud of my boy,” she says. “He’s outstanding in his studies and his extracurriculars. This tour is a reward for his years of discipline and dedication.”

Now, with limited financial resources, she’s appealing to fellow South Africans, Nigerians, and well-wishers worldwide to help raise the R56,000 needed for Isaac to travel, compete, and grow as an international athlete.
This amount covers:
Return flights and airport taxes
Accommodation and meals
Professional coaching
Tournament participation
Team kit and apparel
Travel insurance
Additional costs—like visa fees, passport renewals, and equipment—push the total even higher. As a single mother on a modest income, Mrs. Solarin simply can’t do it alone.
Why Your Support Matters
In a world where many youths lose hope, sports can be a powerful force for transformation. By supporting Isaac, you are:
Investing in the future of African youth
Promoting unity and representation in sport
Encouraging academic and athletic excellence
This is more than a donation—it’s a vote of confidence in a hardworking young boy.
“Every cent counts. You’re not just funding a trip—you’re building a future,” Mrs. Solarin adds.
How You Can Help
Visit Isaac’s official fundraising page and donate here:
If you can’t contribute financially, please share the campaign across your social media networks. Awareness is just as powerful.
Let’s Help Isaac Soar
Let’s show the world what African talent can do when it’s given the right support. Together, we can send Isaac to Prague and help him carry the hopes of many young athletes across the continent.
Be part of his story. Be part of the journey. Support Isaac today.
