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.

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.
