The Registrar of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife, Mrs. Magaret Omosule confirms the suspension of six undergraduates of the institution for their alleged involvement in cult activities. This was contained in a media release made available to Daily Post last week.
The six students had been under police investigation after two students accused them of been forcefully initiated into a confraternity outside the campus, and act which breaches their Matriculation Oath, Code of Conduct and other pertinent University regulations.
The school management had received this report on the 2nd of July, 2018 and had swung into action as the Security Unit of the school begun an investigation, arrested and handed over 12 students to the Osun State Command of the Nigerian Police for professional investigation. The report was subsequently sent to the school disciplinary committee who will decide their fate.
But in the meantime, the six students are suspended after they’d confessed to being members of a proscribed group.
The Registrar, in the release said, “accordingly, and in accordance with the relevant statutes, the following students have been suspended pending the outcome of investigations by the appropriate Students’ Disciplinary Committee’
She then released the names and matric numbers of the affected students, which are:
(1) ONYEKWUSI Praise Chinemerem, Matriculation number ASE / 2014/218
(2). OJO Abiodun Olamide, Matriculation number MCB /2012 /149
(3).UDE John, Matriculation number ASE /2015 /362
(4). OLADOYE Tobi Olakunmi, Matriculation number EGL /2014/ 383
(5) AYEYI Damilola Ayomide, Matriculation number EGL /2016 /075
(6) DAVIS Jesulayomi Olakunle, Matriculation number EGL / 2014 /207.
Furthermore, she said that “As it is the collective responsibility of all stakeholders to protect the University from persons with criminal intentions, members of the University Community are advised to be vigilant at all times and report any suspicious activities which could undermine the peaceful coexistence of members of the University Community”.
