Bernard Oduro Takyi, a member of the Old Vandals Association of Commonwealth Hall, has requested that the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO) and the National Investigation Bureau (NIB) look into the proprietors of hostels near the University of Ghana (UG).

His request follows a mandate on student housing from the University of Ghana, effective with the 2022–2023 academic year.

All continuing male students in Mensah Sarbah Hall and Commonwealth Hall would not go back to their dorms, according to the UG Registrar.

However, the instruction will not apply to current female students in Mensah Sarbah Hall or to students with special needs who are enrolled in both halls.

Speaking on the matter on the Morning Starr with Francis Abban, the former president of the Commonwealth, Mr. Oduro Takyi claimed that the university's action is pressuring students to stay in the hostels nearby.

“90 percent of the hostels around the University of Ghana are owned by University Officials. I am calling on the National Investigation Bureau and Economic and Organized Crime Office to investigate and know those behind the hostels,” he added.

He further stated that “we are protecting the rights of the poor people,” adding that education is a right and not a privilege.
