Sunday Okpokpo of the Department of Political Science, Faculty of Social Sciences were suspended for allegedly creating panic in the varsity over the weekend when he, in a social post, called for the cancellation of final year examinations scheduled to commence November 2 as well as the school Matriculation billed for November 7.

 

In a separate decision, the university authority, through a letter by Dr. C.A.

The suspension letters read that both students are to lose the 2019/2020 session and to resume school in the 2020/2021 academic session repeating their current study levels and are "not to be seen on any of the three campuses unless on invitation."

 

Each of them is also expected to "hand over the University properties in his possession to his Head of Department or Hall Warden", the suspension letters stated.
