The three students are reportedly being
punished for verbally assaulting and
threatening a professor, Y. K. Yusuf, in
the institution.
The Students Union leaders at the Obafemi
Awolowo University » have been suspended
for up to 6 semesters for threatening a professor,
PremiumTimes report.
The SUG leaders were reportedly given between
four and six semesters suspensions.
Those suspended are the president, Omotayo
Akande; Secretary General, Oketooto
Oluwaseun and the Public Relations Officer,
Ojedokun Emmanuel.
The three students are reportedly being
punished for verbally assaulting and threatening
a professor of the institution, Prof. Y. K. Yusuf.
According to reports, Emmanuel, who was
supposed to graduate in two months, and some
of his colleagues interrupted an ongoing lecture
where Yusuf was teaching, with the aim of
making an announcement.
Yusuf refused to grant them permission to do
this, causing the students to feel insulted.
Thereafter, they accosted the lecturer and told
him to apologise to the students, or else, they
would parade him around the campus.
When the professor insisted he was not going to
apologise, the SUG president sent an SMS to the
Vice Chancellor of the school, stating that he
cannot guarantee the safety of the professor if he
does not tender an apology for walking the
members of the union out of his class.
A panel set up by the school’s management to
investigate the matter recommended that the
students be suspended for three years.
Mr. Emmanuel confirmed that they had
received the suspension letters, and called on
the management to review its sanction.
“We have received the letters and plead with
notable Nigerians to save Oketooto Oluwaseun,
Omotayo Akande and myself,” Mr. Emmanuel
said, while denying threatening the professor. He
claimed that he was being framed and that the
management is just looking for an excuse to get
rid of him.
Oluwaseun and Emmanuel were suspended for
four semesters respectively, while Akande was
suspended for six semesters.
