The Federal University of
Technology Akure (FUTA) has expelled six students for allegedly assaulting
another student.
The expulsion was communicated by
Adegbenro Adebanjo, deputy director of corporate communications of the
institution, on Tuesday.
According to Adegbenro, the
expulsion followed the recommendation of an investigative panel which probed
the incident that took place in an off-campus hostel on November 16.
“The Expelled students are: 1. Popoola
Olaniyi Agboola IDD/ (300L) 2. Oluwadare Faith Tobiloba FST ( 200L) 3. Nandi
Yohanna Jessica IPE/ ( 200L) 4. Ajuwon Tolani Emmanuella FAT/ (100L) 5.
Emmanuel Funmilayo Taiwo FAT/ (100L)and 6. Alao Olabimpe Cecilia CSP/ (100 L),”
he said.
“The expulsion is in line with
the position of Page 48 of the 2019/2020 Students Handbook which prescribes
expulsion from the University for Students who engage in, “Physical assault or
battery on another student outside the university premises”.
“As a consequence of their
expulsion their studentship of FUTA ceases forthwith with all its rights and
privileges.”
Adegbenro said the punishment
meted out to the affected students is not to pander to the public outcry which
followed the act, but that it is in line with the rules and regulations of the
university which all students signed to.
Last week, video clips of where a
group of five students — one male, four females — were seen beating up a female
100 level student in her room rippled on social media.
