For failing to control their libido, five students of the Ekiti State
University (EKSU) have been expelled after a disciplinary committee
found them culpable in a case of molestation on the campus.
The
institution in a statement Sunday in Ado Ekiti by the Deputy Registrar,
Information and Public Relations of the University, Ajibade Olubunmi,
announced the students’ expulsion.
But besides losing their
studentship, the five expelled students will also be put on trial, as
they have been dragged before the courts for the crime.
The
students were arrested on March 7, through the concerted efforts of EKSU
security men, the police and youths from Iworoko Ekiti, a neighbouring
town, and were subsequently made to face the disciplinary committee
headed by Professor W. O. Adebayo that tried them and found them guilty.
The
expelled students are: Babalola Adedotun Kolawole, a 300 Level
Psychology student; Omoteye Olalekan Olamide, a 300 Level Psychology
student; Bamigboye Biola Moshood, a Pre-degree Social Science student;
and Adekunle Lateef Omogbemileke, a 300 Level Accounting student.
However, the statement added that Omogbemileke and another suspect, Okube Gabriel Ogunmoroti, were still at large.
The
Dean of Students Affairs, Professor I G. Adanlawo, in the statement,
further charged parents to monitor their children closely so that they
would not join bad groups.
Meanwhile, the Vice-Chancellor of the
university, Prof. Patrick Oladipo Aina, has warned students of the
institution against getting involved in cultism, examination
malpractices and other social vices at the expense of their studies and
moral probity.
He gave the warning during the matriculation of
students of EKSU studying under an affiliate programme with Adeniran
Ogunsaya College of Education, Ijanikin, Lagos, on March 9.
The
vice-chancellor, who was represented by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor
(Academic), Prof. Olugbenga Aribisala, warned that under no
circumstances should any of the students be involved in examination
malpractice, cultism, drug abuse and other anti-social behaviours that
could jeopardise their study.
