34 students of Kogi State Polytechnic have been expelled for their involvement in examination malpractices, certificate forgery and cultism.
The Academic Board of
the institution approved the expulsion of the students for their actions which
contravened the relevant sections of the Students Information Handbook of the
polytechnic. The handbook stipulates penalties for involvement in examination
malpractice, certificate forgery and cultism respectively.
Some of the expelled
students are said to be part of the “Examination Magic Centre” syndicate,
recently uncovered by the institution at the Sarkin Noma area in Lokoja
metropolis. It was gathered that the 'magic centre’ was organised by one
Ibrahim Ayatu, a HND II student of the Department of Accountancy and one
Clement Ayeni Clement, an ex student of the polytechnic.
While the Board
approved the expulsion of Ayatu from the institution, Ayeni is to be banned
from entering the polytechnic until further notice.
One Mr Ekele Hassan, a
HND I Industrial Design (Graphics) student who is also a staff of the
polytechnic was also expelled after being caught with an already answered
booklet.
Alih Kemalu and Isah
Habib from the Department of Public Administration were expelled for their
involvement in cult-related activities.
