The Senate of the University of Abuja has approved the expulsion of 28 students for offences including cult-related activities, examination malpractice, drvg possession, and threats to life
The decision was taken at the institution’s 191st Regular Senate Meeting, following consideration of a report by the Student Disciplinary Committee.
This was contained in a statement issued on Sunday by the Acting Director of Information and University Relations, Dr. Habib Yakoob, as reported by The Cable.
According to the statement, “the affected students were found culpable of serious misconduct, including assault, conspiracy, burglary, theft, falsification of ‘O’ Level results uploaded on the university portal for admission, as well as possession and use of hard drvgs.”
It noted that the Senate also approved the withdrawal of certificates previously issued to 15 former students who failed to honour repeated invitations by the disciplinary committee.
In addition, nine students were exonerated following investigations, while 33 others received warnings for offences such as hostel racketeering, conspiracy, and fighting.
Speaking on the development, the Vice-Chancellor and Chairman of Senate, Prof. Hakeem Fawehinmi, warned that the university would not compromise its standards or condone acts capable of undermining academic integrity and campus safety.
