The former Vice Chancellor of Elizade University, Ilara-Mokin, Ifedore Local Government, Ondo State, Professor Adekunle Oloyede, was weekend re-arraigned on a fresh seven-count charge.
Oloyede has been in detention for the past 11 days over the allegation levelled against him by the proprietor of the Elizade University, Chief Michael Ade-Ojo.
He, however, pleaded not guilty to the new charge preferred against him by the office of the state Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice.
During the previous sitting, he was given stringent bail conditions, including depositing $250,000 , but weekend, the court granted him bail with moderate terms.
The charges, according to Mrs Kolade Oba, who represented the Attorney General, read: “That you Professor Adekunle Oloyede, on or about January 20, 2015 at about 10:30a.m. in Elizade University, Akure Magisterial District, did conspire with three others at large to commit a felony to wit, stealing and thereby committed an offence contrary to and punishable under Section 516 of the Criminal Code, Cap 37, Vol. 1, Laws of Ondo State of Nigeria, 2006.”
However, the lawyer to the accused, Olusola Oke, who asked for bail on liberal terms, said the charges are “distorted and not likely to be true.”
Oke told Magistrate Ayodeji Akinsanya that the allegations were unsubstantiated.
The court granted Oloyede N2 million bail and two sureties in like sum. He should also deposit his two international passports to the court registrar.
The case was adjourned to February 7 and 8 for trial.
