Less than a year after Engineer Oyekemi publicly petitioned the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) against the Board of Trustees (BOT) and National Executive Council (NEC) of the alumni body of Osun State University (UNIOSUN) over alleged fund-mismanagement, the once-explosive story appears to have vanished from public view.

Despite the initial media coverage pointing to an investigation that “is not looking good” for the accused parties, no further updates have emerged. Key questions remain unanswered:

• Did the EFCC ever formally open a case following-up on the petition?
• If the investigation proceeded, why has no public report or statement been released?
• And perhaps most striking: why has Engineer Oyekemi, the complainant, not provided any follow-up commentary?

Speculation within alumni circles suggests one of two possibilities: either the dispute was settled quietly and kept out of the public domain, or the complainant’s voice has been muted by indirect pressure. Either way, the absence of closure does little to restore credibility to an organisation already tainted by allegations.

For an association built on the trust of former students and stakeholders, the risk of reputational damage remains high. Transparency is now more critical than ever. At the very least, stakeholders deserve a public statement confirming whether the matter is alive, resolved or simply shelved.

Until such clarity is provided, the story will linger in limbo — raising more questions about governance, accountability and alumni-fund stewardship than it ever answered.
