The management of Tai Solarin University of Education (TASUED), Ijagun, Ogun State, has dismissed a viral social media report claiming the institution was shut down following an alleged bandit invasion of Ijebu-Ode.
In a statement issued by the Registrar and Secretary to Council, Dapo Oke, the report was described as “malicious, misleading, and targeted at causing unnecessary panic within the university community and across the state.”
The rumours suggested that students had been instructed to vacate their hostels due to a supposed security breach. However, the university clarified that “there was never a closure of the institution, nor were students asked to leave their hostels. The environment in Ijebu-Ode and Ijagun remains peaceful and safe.”
