14 Students Expelled After They Were "Caught In The Act"

                       


Parents really need to exercise some measure of control over the children in institutions of higher learning so as to make them face their studies rather than join deadly gangs.

Authority of the Moshood Abiola Polytechnic (MAPOLY) on Wednesday expelled 14 students of the institution over the role they played in the aborted Students’ Union election which the management described as an “act of gross misconduct.”

The suspended students, whose studentship cuts across all the departments of the five schools in the institution were said to have been “caught in the act” perpetration violence, following the crisis that marred the election.

The development also forced the authority of the institution to cancel the election and consequently proscribed the students’ union movement in the school.

Speaking with journalists in his office, the institution’s Public Relations Officer, Sulaiman Adebiyi, said the development became imperative following the disruption of the SUG election in which some students took the law into their hands and destroyed properties worth millions of Naira.

Sporadic gunshots were heard at the premises of the institution as some students were said to be protesting the disqualification of their candidates at the said election.
