According to Cherwell's investigations, David Hundeyin claimed to be a "2023 Distinguished James Currey Fellow" with the Centre for African Studies at the University. However, The Conscience found that the James Currey Society, which awarded David Hundeyin this title, is not funded or endorsed by the University or its Centre for African Studies.
The James Currey Society's website reveals no indication of any affiliation with the University. It appears that the addition of James Currey's name was solely to strengthen the Fellowship's credibility.
Cherwell's investigations revealed that the James Currey Society is a UK non-profit organization founded by David Hundeyin's associate, Onyeka Nwelue, whose status as an Academic Visitor was terminated by both Oxford and Cambridge for his unauthorized commercial use of their emblems.
David Hundeyin's attempts to defend his Oxford affiliation were unsuccessful. He tweeted that his "Director at the Cambridge University Centre of African Studies who is aware of El-Rufai's problem with me and the ensuing shenanigans has stated that there is something 'deeply suspect' going on at Oxford," but he did not provide the name of this director.
Cherwell's investigation raises concerns about the credibility of populist figures who make claims of affiliation with prestigious universities to boost their public image. David Hundeyin's fraudulent claims of academic affiliation with the University and his association with a known fraudster, Onyeka Nwelue, have exposed him as a criminal, a fraudster, and a scam artist with no institutional affiliation to the University or any other institution of higher learning.
