The Management of Ekiti State College of Technology, Ijero-Ekiti (EKSCOTECH), has debunked the claims making the round that one Shittu Isiaka, who was sentenced to death by hanging by an Ondo State High Court, is a staff member of the Institution.
In a statement signed and made available to journalists by the College’s Registrar, Sunday Ayodeji said the alleged convict is no longer a member of staff of the Institution, adding that his appointment was terminated on April 10, 2019 for abscondment and negligence of duty.
The statement reads, “The attention of the Management of Ekiti State College of Technology, Ijero (EKSCOTECH), formerly College of Health Sciences and Technology has been drawn to a story being circulated on some social media platforms, following the judgment passed on Mr. Shittu Isiaka by an Ondo State High Court on January 29, 2026.
“The Ekiti State College of Technology, Ijero, hereby states that the alleged convict is no longer a member of staff of the Institution. Members of the public are to note that Isiaka’s appointment was terminated on April 10, 2019 for abscondment and negligence of duty.
“Be that as it may, the Polytechnic will continue to maintain a safe and law-abiding environment for staff and students with a view to nurturing alumni who would positively influence the larger society.
“Members of the general public are urged to disregard the aspect of the story describing Mr Isiaka as a staff of our Polytechnic”.
