The management of the Ajayi Crowther University, Oyo, Oyo State has expelled some students of the institution over their alleged involvement in a fight that led to the death of a fellow student.
The university also debunked the presence of cultism in the institution against a trending news report (not LEADERSHIP).
The management in a statement maintained that “The University has zero tolerance for any sort of anti-societal vices and misconduct,” saying “it is important to stress that the expelled students do not belong to any cult group.”
“What actually happened is that the deceased was alleged to have stolen a mobile telephone, but instead of reporting the issue to the University management, the expelled students could not control their emotions,” the university said.
It further revealed that the actions of the expelled led to the unfortunate death of the student.
Speaking on the fate of the affected students, the statement added, “The University has taken swift action by handing over all the students involved to the Nigeria Police Force for investigation, with the assurance that justice will be served.”
It emphasised on the University’s steadfast commitment to ensuring a safe, conducive, peaceful and godly atmosphere for learning.
