He said that five undergraduate students were suspended for one academic session, three suspended for one semester, while three others were discharged.

Giving a breakdown of those affected, he said that 27 of the undergraduates were 400 level students, 19 in 300 level, 16 in 200 level and two students in 100 level.

According to him, the breakdown also shows that 47 of the expelled students are from the Faculty of Science, 23 from Faculty of Management Sciences, while 20 students are from Faculty of Social Sciences.

“The affected students have since been directed to handover any university
property in their possession, including identity card, to their heads of department and unit.

“They are also advised to vacate the campus immediately,” he said.

Yakoob said that the university was determined to instill academic discipline among its staff and students, adding that those who violated rules and regulations of the institution would be disciplined. (NAN)
