Authorities of Bingham University, Karu in Nasarawa State has explained why it recently expelled a student, Adamu Salisu Halliru.
The institution was reacting to a news report in which the former student alleged that he was expelled from the university in October 2023 due to his religious practices.
But in a reaction, Bingham University in a statement signed by the director, public affairs, Daburi Bello Misal, said; “The university wishes to observe that the national newspaper based its story on the facts it received from the said student without balancing its story by hearing from the university.
“For the avoidance of doubt, the student was expelled having exhibited acts of violence while chanting slogans capable of causing religious disharmony.”
These facts are before the court for determination. The university offers equal opportunity to all as long as students and staff abide by the rules and regulations of the institution.
“It is absurd to say the least that a student who has been in the university for two years and was never denied prayers would accuse the university of doing so when numerous students of the same faith have not been denied same.”
