Deputy Rector, FPW of the Federal Polytechnic Wannune (FPW) Tarka Local Government Benue state has written the Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Kayode Egbetokun that the institution has been hijacked by an organized criminal group actively financing terrorism and promoting money laundering and the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) Sen. George Akume Dajo is deeply involved in the organized crime.
In his two pages petition dates August 14, 2025, the Deputy Rector stated that: “On Thursday, 7th August 2025, the terrorists invaded our campus, seriously intimidated people, vandalized government property and threatened to lynch the Deputy Rector who escaped by Providence and remained in hiding until the group’s leader within FPW, the Rector, Dr. Tyover Ashinya Dajo instructed them to withdraw, camp at another location in Wannue and wait for further directives from him.
“On the same day, the terrorists also abducted a staff of FPW Mr. Jeremiah Terfa Cheren and tortured him. The Chairman of governing Council Chief Michael Msuaan was immediately notified of the criminal invasion and the damage that was caused but he did not report the crime to the police to ensure the safety of staff and students. Later on the 7th August 2025, information was obtained that Chief Michael Msuaan and the Rector Dr. Tyover Ashinya were among those financing the activities of the terrorists using public funds allocated to Federal Polytechnic Wannune Benue state.
“It was also revealed that while the terrorists waited at the designated camp, Mr. Orkume Twar another staff of FPW and who works as Pa to Dr. Ashinya, was also with them as they consumed substances including drinks.
“A report supported with strong evidence has been submitted to the Inspector General of Police through the Commissioner of Police Benue state Police Command, the DSS through the state Director, the Chief Security Officer of Benue state H.E. governor Hyacinth Alia, the EFCC and the ICPC.
“Unfortunately, the SGF Sen. George Akume is interfering with the investigation, perverting justice to protect the terrorists, prevent their arrest and those financing their activities and the Police have not arrested suspects even 4 days of making the first report to the IGP through the Benue State Police Command on 11th August 2025.
“Federal Polytechnic Wannune Staff and students and the entire Wannune as a community remains exposed to the activities of these terrorist and information gathered, which has also been communicated with the Police is that some members of the criminal group participated in the Yelwata Guma local government massacre.
“As the Police continues to delay effective response as required by the Nigerian Police Act 2020, and Sen. George Akume the SGF continues to protect the terrorists, staff and students of FPW remain unsafe and the entire Wannune is not safe either if these terrorists are not arrested and treated according to law.
“Federal Polytechnic Wannune needs full Police Protection with heavy Police Presence on Campus for anyone stepping into the Campus to be safe from these terrorists attack
“This post is to notify the public about the terrorists invasion of FPW and Wannune as a community, that a report was made to the Police, that the SGF Sen. George Akume is protecting the terrorists, and a desperate call for our President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s emergency intervention to provide security in FPW. Some of the people being trained by the organised criminal group in promotion of terrorism and Money laundering, are understood to be in the United Kingdom and evidence has been submitted to the Police as well.
Details of terrorism and Money laundering through FPW and those that are connected including the SGF Sen. George Akume, have been submitted to the IG, through the CoP Benue state and the EFCC.
“Please, if you see this message, help share it, until President Bola Ahmed Tinubu receives it and takes relevant Presidential actions to provide security in FPW and the outer Wannune community”
