In a memo by
Mrs Adenike T. Fatogun, titled: “Decision of the University’s Management on
Students with disciplinary cases”, the management of the Ajayi
Crowther
University (ACU), has expelled 29 students from the institution, following
their acts of insubordination.
The school
also suspended 9 students, while 3 got letters of warning, making it clear the
school's “Management will not entertain personal appeals from parents and sponsors
in regard to these decisions.”
According to
Daily Post, some male students assaulted ACU Vice Chancellor, Professor Dapo
Folorunsho Asaju, two weeks ago, and in anger, he ordered that the school be
shut and ordered immediate probe.
It was
gathered that trouble had started when some male students of ‘Ibadan Hostel’
and ‘JA (Joseph Adetiloye) Hostel’ allegedly fought over a female student.
The VC was
said to have directed internal security personnel to put the situation under
control before it escalated.
A source in
the school said; “When security staff got there, the guys rather than stop the
commotion continued. Some students then poured water on the security personnel.
“Word got to
the VC who decided to personally intervene. On his arrival, the students got
violent and said he should leave.
“As the
situation got tensed, some yet-to-be-identified poured water and thrash on him.
Prof Asaju was so angry that he cursed them and vowed to take action”.
On Friday,
April 21, some of those expelled appeared before the Students Disciplinary
Committee (SDC) over the incident. Others had pending cases which were also
investigated.
