No reason was immediately given for the university authorities' actions.

Ogunleye said: “This is to inform the University Community and the general public that the underlisted students have been expelled from the University.”

The expelled and suspended students are no longer allowed within the university premises as the school resumed a new academic session on Saturday, January 5.

Ogunleye said the decision to take disciplinary action against the students was reached by a panel set up by the school.

He said: “We have the reasons with us but we can’t put it on the website and the public. They’ve all faced a disciplinary committee, having infringed on the rules and regulations of the university, as contained in the students’ handbook.

“The offences warranted expulsion, that’s why the panel expelled them.”

Legit.ng recalls that some students of Bowen University, Iwo, Osun state, staged a protest against the directive of the management that they must undergo a drug test.

The management is, however, insisting that the affected students must face disciplinary action.

Videos of an inferno from one of the rooms on the first floor of the boy’s hostel reportedly went viral on Monday, December 3, with a rumour that the vice chancellor had suspended 200 students, including those who refused to take the drug test.

The university’s registrar, Ogunleye, however, said the viral videos were doctored. He also reportedly refuted the allegation that 200 students were suspended for evading the drug test.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari.
