Kogi State Poly Expels 42 Students For Theft, Examination Malpractices, others

The Polytechnic’s Head, Public Relations and Protocol Unit, Mrs Uredo Omale, disclosed this in a statement on Friday.

Omale noted that the Academic Board of the institution approved the expulsion of the 42 Students after its emergency meeting of Thursday 20th May, 2021.

The board, according to Omale, considered reports of various committees before arriving at the decision to expel the erring students.

Among the expelled students is Mr. Victor Attah of ND II, Business Administration Department, with Matric Nō 2018/ND/BUS/903.

Mr. Attah, according to the institution’s spokesperson, was involved in the running of an illegal examination syndicate, popularly known as Magic Centre, in connivance with one Ibrahim Hayatu who was the ringleader.

“The centre was busted some time ago, precisely on 5th November, 2020, at Sarkin Noma in Lokoja. One Mr. Akerele Oluwaseun, an ND I student of the Department of Computer Science, with Matric No 2019/ND/CPS/676 was expelled for stealing a bag belonging to one Abdulganiyu Mohammed from the same Department” she said.

Others from the institution are those that forged National Diploma (ND) results to secure Higher National Diploma (HND) admissions.

The Academic Board was presided over by the Rector, Dr. Salisu O. Usman, who resolved that the provisional admission of the detected students should be withdrawn for gross misconduct.
