A university class rep was allegedly arrested after course mates accused him of inflating a ₦3,500 compulsory book to ₦8,500 and misusing the profits—sparking suspicion after he suddenly upgraded from an iPhone XR to an iPhone 16.
A university class representative was allegedly arrested after course mates accused him of inflating the price of a compulsory course material and misappropriating funds. According to reports circulating online, the class rep reportedly sold a book meant to cost ₦3,500 to students for ₦8,500, pocketing a ₦5,000 profit per book. Suspicion arose among classmates when he was noticed to have upgraded his phone from an iPhone XR to an iPhone 16 within a short period, sparking rumors of financial misconduct.
The development allegedly prompted some course mates to report the matter to authorities, leading to his arrest. Details surrounding the arrest, including the institution involved and the exact charges, remain unclear as of the time of this report. The incident has sparked debates on social media about accountability in student leadership.
Netizens reacted strongly, with @GeoffreyNwankpa saying, “This is wrong, they should have involved school authority.” Others joked, “@BIGUZOMA wrote, ‘5k profit??? Our politicians can’t even do this’,” implying even officials can’t match such “entrepreneurship.” “@delish_farms commented, ‘If he enters politics, we’re finished’,” warning about future implications.
“@akinlawon52 questioned, ‘Why is it so hard to avoid cheating people you’re meant to represent? Why do we normalize exploiting others?'” The incident highlights trust breakdowns in student leadership, mirroring societal issues.
The arrest shows peers holding reps accountable, demanding transparency. Institutions must address such misconduct swiftly to restore trust.
