A former leading aspirant in the recently held election in The Great Independence Hall, Tunji Epeti Michael A.K.A. Mote has been suspended from the University for a semester, a close source to the Students’ Disciplinary Committee revealed.
The 500 level student of the department of Petroleum Engineering was taken to the University’s Central Student Disciplinary Committee to defend his involvement in the protest which erupted in the Hall on Thursday, 19th November, 2015 as a result of the poor supply of electricity.
Mote was “alleged to have led a protest in respect of electricity failure to disrupt the peace enjoyed in Independence Hall and the University at large,” the source added.
It must be noted that the decision has already caused uproar in and out of the Independence Hall as well as outside of the University especially tertiary institutions in Oyo State.
More worthy of note is the solidarity message recently published by students of Obafemi Awolowo University thereby taking the case to the national scene as it has been rumoured that students all over the South Western states are planning a massive protest to challenge the perceived unjust decision of the school management.
