Ajayi Crowther University management has expelled some students of the institution who were involved in a fight that led to the death of a fellow student.
The management in a statement by the Registrar of the University, Dr. Jadesola Babalola explained that Contrary to what is trending, the University affirms that there is no cultism in the institution, just as the University has zero tolerance for any sort of anti societal vices and misconduct. 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. Their actions led to the unfortunate death of the student.
“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.
“The University remains steadfast in its commitment to ensuring a safe, conducive, peaceful and godly atmosphere for learning”. Statement added.
