Ibadan Poly expels one student, suspends others for kidnapping, armed robbery
The Polytechnic, Ibadan, says it has expelled one student and suspended two others for alleged kidnapping and armed robbery.
This is contained in a statement by Modupe Fawale, registrar of the institution, on Wednesday in Ibadan.
“Two students of the institution, ND Two Mass Communication and HND Two Local Government Development Studies, have been suspended indefinitely, while an HND I Public Administration student was expelled for alleged kidnapping and assaulting a security officer of the institution,” Ms Fawale said.
The registrar, however, advised parents and guardians to take time to monitor the activities of their wards in the institution.
She said the institution would not hesitate to take drastic actions against any student whose conduct would tarnish the school’s image.
Ms Fawale also urged students of the institution to be law-abiding and give information on suspected illegal activities of students and non-students they were aware of.
She said the institution would work with law enforcement agencies to prevent crime on campus.
Ms Fawale said this would also protect the law-abiding students, staff and the entire polytechnic community.
