“These rogues use fake social media platforms, like WhatsApp, LinkedIn, Facebook and Messanger to make all sorts of demands from members of the public in the name of the vice chancellor.

“For the avoidance of doubt, Prof. Egbewole does not operate on any of those social media platforms.

“Members of the public should, therefore, be wary of the antics of these unscrupulous elements and be adequately guided not to fall for their pranks,” the statement warned
