Course Mates Allegedly Get Class Representative Arrested After Selling ₦3,000 Book for ₦8,500 and Buying iPhone 16: A class representative in a university was reportedly arrested after some of his course mates accused him of increasing the price of a compulsory book and keeping the extra money. The report says the book was supposed to cost about ₦3,500, but he sold it to students for ₦8,500.
Students claimed that this created a profit of about ₦5,000 on each copy sold. The issue became more serious when some classmates noticed that he changed his phone from an iPhone XR to an iPhone 16 within a short time. This sudden upgrade raised questions and caused suspicion among members of the class.
According to information shared online, some students decided to report the matter instead of handling it within the class. This action reportedly led to his arrest. As at the time of this report, the name of the institution and the exact charges have not been officially confirmed.
The story has generated many reactions on social media. Some people said the matter should have first gone to the school management before involving law enforcement. Others reacted with humor and sarcasm, comparing the situation to corruption among public officials. A few commenters also raised concerns about honesty and responsibility among student leaders.
This incident has started a wider discussion about trust and accountability in student leadership. Many people believe that anyone chosen to represent others must be open and transparent in handling money and group matters. Schools are also expected to look into such complaints quickly and handle them properly so that confidence in student representation will remain strong.
