Subsequently, the university, in a “rustication letter” sighted by our correspondent, dated May 26, 2023, and signed by the deputy registrar on behalf of the registrar, accused both Igwe and Oladeru, of circulating an “inciteful press release” capable of “jeopardising the peaceful and smooth conduct of academic activities in the university and a breach of the University Matriculation Oath”.
“By the powers conferred on the Vice Chancellor as contained in the University of Abuja Act, he on behalf of the Senate has directed your immediate rustication from the University. Accordingly, you are banned from all University Campuses pending the determination of the case,” the letter added. However, in a fresh development, one of the affected students, Oladeru, who spoke to our correspondent on Sunday noted that the rustication letter had been recalled.
“The school wants us to return the letter that it was a mistake. It was supposed to be suspended, but after all the damages have been done, they’re now realising their mistakes. The school did injustice and should face the law.” Earlier, the Public Relations Officer of the institution, Dr Habib Yakoob, told our correspondent that the students were suspended contrary to the widely circulated letters and media reports.All rights reserved.
