His suspension was contained in a statement issued in Ado-Ekiti by the Special Adviser on Media Matters to the Vice-Chancellor, Wole Balogun.

According to the statement, Mr Odusanya was suspended by the University Governing Council, chaired by Mohammed Yahuza, to allow proper investigation into allegations of misconduct levelled against him over irregularities in recent appointments.
