UNN DEAN STUDENT AFFAIRS POINT OUT THE CRIMES OF ANI STEPHEN.

November 26, 2021

The President

Students’ Union Government

University of Nigeria,

Nsukka Campus

Dear Mr. (Comrade) Stephen Ani,

CHRONICLES OF YOUR DISTURBING ACTIVITIES AS STUDENTS’ UNION PRESIDENT 

NSUKKA CAMPUS (MARCH 2020 TO NOVEMBER 2021)

My very warmest greetings to you and the entire students and Government of the Students’ Union 

of the University of Nigeria! 

Following unfolding events and actions, it has become expedient that I chronicle some of the 

litany of your worrisome activities as SUG President of Nsukka Campus for the sake of history as 

follows:

1. Let me once again remind you that the first ever successful biometric election in any 

Nigerian University brought you into power. I congratulate you again. I had expected that 

you will deploy this rare trust towards selfless services for the interest of the Nigerian 

students under your leadership but alas, how disappointed I am currently.

2. Despite the adverse security report against your candidature few hours before the 

election, we adjudged that the report was released late and being that you had a single 

contender, we ignored the report and moved on with the election. The regrets for this 

error are monumental. But God is there as the ultimate righteous judge.

3. I took your team on a three day leadership retreat at the Christ Church Chapel and I 

remembered telling you that the retreat meant nothing to you. It was my first shock coming 

to know you.

4. You character of unbridled avarice which you have never hidden has virtually destroyed 

unionism in UNN.

5. Your Government will ignobly be remembered as one that overshot their budget with a 

huge margin of over 9.5 million naira which again was drawn by you and few of your other 

officers

6. You went on an official trip to Abuja and all you had to show the students battalion of UNN 

was your relaxation photo-shots at Hilton hotels Abuja- A despicable show in immaturity.

7. Your hunger and love for money made you to engage in shameless campaign of calumny 

against my person for not supporting blatant selfish move of yours. All these just for money 

and nothing more! I have been praying for you.

8. You kept stampeding my office without respect because according to you, you can cause 

trouble for the system. Your body language is that a man that has grown beyond control.

9. You lured the SUG President of UNEC into your selfish search for money and concluded 

that the students’ project money is absolutely within your entitled jurisdiction. According 

to you, it is your exclusive right to arrange for the project.

10.Because of my sincere insistence on due process (which in all honesty is even for your own 

good & safety), you galvanized hatred and raised serial falsehoods against my 

person. These character assassinations were severally published online by paid or 

sponsored bloggers. You never denied any officially. Yet I did nothing and you consider it 

normal.

11.Still due to your insatiable quest for money, you organized your team to come and lock 

the office of the Dean of Students, chased out staff of the Department and indeed locked 

my office! Regrettably on a day, I went to bury a final year civil engineering student who 

slumped and died while jogging. That tells your kind of heart. Let it be on record that you 

are the first SUG President to attempt this sacrilege and disrespect to the laws of our 

University. You boasted and boasted because probably had some forces backing you! Yet, 

I kept my peace to the glory of God.

12.Your Government has been involved in all manner of shady deals including the allocation 

of business premises at SUB area at cut throat rents without due process or even recourse 

to the Dean of Students (even for courtesy sake). You claimed ownership of the area and 

every other space in UNN you consider a potential source of money to you.

13.You started having secret meetings against my office right from the first day you assumed 

office. You alone know your reasons for this. In all your meetings, your focus has been 

one thing-Access to money and how to frustrate the Dean of Students.

14.You ganged up a lot of people against me using cheap propaganda and stark falsehood 

syndrome.

15.You refused to live in the hostel rather, all of you rented out your official bed spaces at 

Eni-Njoku hostel. Security surveillance showed that these students who occupy your official 

rooms were the ones responsible for instigating crises and unrest amongst students.

16.Your Government which made sure that any officer of the Union withdraws approved 

budgetary money must settle you with fat shares never considered the act corrupt and 

actionable. You will always do this despite my, pleas warnings and godly counsels.

17.Your threats against my person and office have become intractable and worrisome. 

According to you, all I do is to pray for and preach to you each time you visit my office in 

Students' Affairs Department.

18.You organized and collected money from several social groups who most times are not 

from our University. At least the recent one is the 95k you collected and spent selfishly 

against the welfare of our dear students. You refused to clean the Freedom square 

environment for which you collected money from the organizers. Each time, the Dean will 

organize and clean your mess! We have indeed over pampered you! 

19.Your Government purposefully refused to acknowledge the full rights of Hall Governors as 

constitutional. I have insisted that the Council of Hall Governors remains a constitutional 

organ of the SUG. Meanwhile, the Governors have remained law abiding despite your 

visible instigation for them to cause unrest in the University.

20. You have not relented in mobilizing social media warfare against the godly activities of 

Students Affairs. As at today, 9th November 2021, you are still hell-bent on creating unrest 

and trouble for the same University training. Your stock in trade is to peddle falsehoods, 

raise misguided aluta movement and still pretend to be a loyal leader! By God’s grace, 

truth will always prevail. Keep your media war on!

21.Your Government dragged the name of our University to the mud severally, the last, being 

the matter of students' project fund. I weep for your generation.

22.You allegedly connived with your allies to tarnish my image on the social media and 

threatened that our SUG election will not hold. For no other reason, except for money (the 

Students’ Project money). You are indeed a President of Students Union, Nsukka Campus.

23.You went ahead to instigate the out-gone Governors against me and directed them never 

to hand over till you the almighty President tells them otherwise. I have been watching 

you.

24.Your perpetual habit of unremorseful and tactical apologies is well known and each time 

you express apologies, I fret at the shallowness of your mind and conduct.

25.You have destroyed the SUG bus which was duly refurbished and handed over to you 

because you use it for personal business and without authorization. You have become the 

SUG bus driver against the clear constitutional provision on this.

26. You have in the past rented the SUG bus bought by the former Vice-Chancellor, collected 

the money and refused to service the vehicle. I ignored it. You are a true joker.

27.You travel always without approval/authorization and engage University properties under 

your care without due process.

28.You have repeatedly threatened the University with unrest, the latest being that elections 

must not hold in UNN. I am perplexed!

29.Your fight with the Senate President, Senator Ifeanyi Nnamani has remained 

unresolved till date and has caused the University a great loss. You alone know the cause 

of this intractable quarrel even if not money related matters.

30.Your Government has always used threats of unrest by students to address any perceived 

actions of the University or policies you consider unfriendly to students in your own 

thinking.

31.You have been pushing against all odds to see that the students’ project goes through to 

your personal satisfaction and gain. You have thrown my cautions to the wind. I wish you 

well!

32.All my formal directives to you and other SUG Executives to retire all monies received or 

spent through their respective offices have fallen on deaf ears! You have blatantly flouted 

this directive. You refused to submit the records of all the rents collected from shops 

around SUB (Nsukka campus) allocated by the SUG leadership under your headship. The 

records are there for the world to see.

33.The President of Akwa-Ibom Students Association reported that you led a team that 

forcefully collected the cash donated to them by their executive Governor HE Emmanuel 

Udom who delivered the 2021 Founder’s Day Lecture. The President of the Akwa-Ibom 

Students’ Union has since made a formal report to the University of Nigeria Management!

34.Surveillance reports repeatedly show your high disregard for my office, person and the 

University which I consider a huge threat to my person, the students’ welfare and the 

entire University at large.

35. As is your usual mischievous nature, you refused to allow the Financial Secretary (Mr. 

Ogbonna Raphael) submit the detailed individual accounts for the payment of stipends 

to outgoing SUG officials including yourself for the reason that these individual stipends 

should be paid into the SUG account which he controls like his personal. The UNEC SUG 

President also delayed the submission. You, accompanied by the UNEC SUG President, 

Comrade Ugwuja came with the stampeding spirit to obligate the Dean of Students to 

recommend the direct payment of these stipends into SUG accounts. Of course, your 

reason(s) will not be far from an innate avarice to swindle other officers of their privileges. 

You have done it with nearly all the monies paid into that account. Several oral complaints 

and two (2) written petitions against you over this act are currently before my office. When 

I refused, you left to threaten the University and the UNECO. You seem to have lost realities 

of life not to talk of leadership.

36. Finally, your Financial Secretary submitted a hard copy (in MS word) of the account 

details without individual amounts on Monday, 22nd November 2021 while the 

submission from UNEC kept being delayed. In my nature I kept calling for these documents 

but flimsy reasons became your style. Finally, UNEC sent to me an online version of their 

account details (in PDF) without a forwarding letter on the evening of Wednesday 24th

November 2021. On my further request, the forwarding letter came via online on 

Thursday 25th November 2021 and I quickly got the approval of the Vice-Chancellor to 

pay this money on the same Thursday 25th November 2021 at about 2:54 pm. 

Immediately, I took the same approval to the Bursar who authorized immediate processing 

of the payments. Let it be known that your tactical delay was to gain cheap and 

foolish reason(s) for your illegal incisive meeting the same Thursday 25th

November 2021 where you instigated your few loyalists to rebel against the 

University of Nigeria. As a way of an incontrovertible witness, while you were holding 

your so called meeting, I still called your Financial Secretary to forward a soft copy of the 

account details as was demanded by Bursary Department. Furthermore, you now 

strangely included the Hall Governors’ accounts details in the list for their 

stipends possibly to woo them to your largely weakened house of leadership. 

The pearls have been thrown to the swine!

37. If not for the facts of item 36 above, why did you not attempt to visit Bursary (which is 

your usual tactics) to facilitate the payment? In my modest reasoning, you were looking 

for nonexistent reasons to perpetrate your threats. I wish you well!

38.To fulfill your threats, you singlehandedly wrote and made public a protest letter and 

foisted the Secretary’s signature on it against UNECO alleging that the widely accepted and 

meticulous screening of candidates for SUG elections were wrongly done. This evil act you 

executed during a well attended manifesto evening for all the cleared SUG aspirants. As 

dastardly foolish, rebellious and insensitive you have become, you neither visited UNECO 

nor the Dean of Students (whom you consider a “useless boy” that must be insulted

and destroyed by all means) to find out what happened in the UNECO screenings! To 

the Glory of the Almighty God, your evil ploys have continued to fail! Let it be known 

that you tactically concealed your real reason for this misleading publication 

which is to have access to the stipends of your colleagues. Stephen Ani, why 

are this mean?

39.I want to strongly believe that you are not yet done with being SUG President for nearly 

twenty four (24) Months and possibly want elongation of office through illegal means. 

Congratulations on your adventours!

40.Stephen Ani, be it known to you that by decree of the Watcher and the voice of the Holy 

ones, the SUG elections will hold on Tuesday 30th November 2021. Your antics are too 

obviously malicious, false and belligerent and cannot muzzle sane minds amongst the 

numerous very intelligent Nigerian students in the University of Nigeria to suggest 

postponement of SUG election.

41. Stephen Ani, be aware of this! I have searched my conscience and found no guilt in me 

against you. I have consistently prayed for you to encounter the Saviour and Lord, Jesus 

Christ and I am sure that God will do it. He has done it with others in the past and your 

case will not be different in Jesus Name! Amen.

42.I am yet to see a young man with your kind of heart! But God rules in the affairs of men. 

43.Let me emphasize that the Dean loves you as much as every other student in the University 

of Nigeria. The essence of this chronicle is to make the necessary history properly 

documented.

44.I shall be willing as always to offer you godly counsel if only your interest for positive 

change will become true and genuine. My ministry is the ministry burdened with 

reconciliation and I will be glad to see you become great in the Lord Jesus Christ!

45.This matter is by the decree of the Watchers and the demand by the word of the holy 

ones; to the intent that the living may know that the Most High ruleth in the kingdom of 

men, and giveth to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men (Daniel 

4:17 KJV).

I will stop here till further notice.

I remain, yours sincerely,

Professor Edwin Ogechukwu Omeje
