Trouble started when the Chancellor of the institution, Bishop David Oyedepo visited the school chapel unannounced and noticed that some students were loitering around the chapel, some talking and others were playing while the Vice Chancellor was giving a speech in the school’s chapel.
Our source confirmed that the very strict chancellor was very angry towards the attitude of the students and immediately called on the Dean of Student Affairs, Mr Bassey, for a brief meeting outside the chapel, while other members of staff including the VC joined in the meeting too.
It was also gathered that the students knowing the sanctions that can befall them started running into the chapel, scrambling for available seats while some boys who did not have ties on where seen looking for ways to acquire some,even a group of boys numbering up to five allegedly took a girl’s scarf and ripped it to shreds using the parts to produce makeshift ties in an attempt not to get into trouble.
It was reported that shortly after the brief meeting, the institution’s Education Secretary, Mrs Aize Obayan addressed the student, but noticed that as she was speaking, the students were murmuring.
Our source said the Chancellor then walked up to the podium and politely took the microphone from Mrs Obayan and said ”if i hear the voice of any student, the curse of the Lord shall fall upon that one” and immediately, the chapel went dead silent.
Our source further confirmed that following this unruly behavior of the students, the Chancellor spoke on the topic Discipline and his vision for the university that night and immediately he finished, the VC asked all students present to wait behind because a search was going to be carried out in all the halls in order to fish out students who did not attend the service.
He revealed that twenty-five final year students were caught, undisclosed number of lower level students while two others were caught smoking marijuana.
He confirmed to us that over 200 were expelled last Saturday.
The Bishop David Oyedepo privately owned university is known for its strict rules and discipline such as not allowing the students to use mobile phones within the school’s premises, while it is mandatory for students to always bring their bible to the general morning assembly and other rules too numerous to mention in this report.

ReplyDeleteThis is like killing an ant with a sledgehammer!
ReplyDeleteHaba! What happened to simply asking the students that were outside to come inside and sit down?
I am not happy to hear this news at all. If this really happened, it's an unfortunate occurrence and in my estimation, was an action that went overboard.
Haba! Children will always be children and students will be students. In setting them on the right path, we have to use wisdom, persuasion, discipline, encouragement, and examples. To suspend these students for not being inside the hall, if indeed this was what happened (I have to give the benefit of doubt to the other side as I haven't heard their story), I am sorry, it went too far and the action can be challenged in court.
You can not correct these children by doing things that could end up ruining their lives. You always have to use the carrot and stick technique in raising kids. And the kids that appear to be 'troublesome' today, may well be the most successful tomorrow, you know!
May God grant us wisdom, patience and direction. Amen.
PROUD NAIJA!
