Bowem University hammers 29 students

Bowen University, Iwo, Osun State, has expelled 29 students.
It has also placed 26 others on indefinite suspension.
According to the varsity’s registrar, Dr Kayode Ogunleye, the affected students were found guilty of various offences and tried according to its rules.
‘The Punch’ reports that the decision is contained in a January 3 statement published on Bowen’s website.
It adds, “Although no reason was given for the action, in December 2018, a number of students facing some disciplinary actions from the university were said to have staged a protest.
“When contacted on Saturday evening, an aide to the Vice Chancellor of the university, Adaramola Toba, said he was not authorised to comment on the matter, and referred our correspondent to the school registrar.
“The reason for the expulsion was stated in the letters given to each of the affected students. They have been made to face Students’ Disciplinary Committee.
“They were given fair hearing to defend themselves. Some were exonerated and those that were found guilty were appropriately sanctioned. We cannot put the reasons on the website. It is against our convention.”
