Yekini Jimoh, Ilorin - 07.01.2008

THE Vice Chancellor, University of Ilorin, Professor Ishaq Oloyede, has expressed the determination of the school authorities to prosecute the 12 students who were expelled over their alleged involvement in cult activities.

Professor Oloyede stated this at the inauguration of the transition and electoral commission for the students’ union of the school.

In his address entitled: “Restoration of Students Integrity: A New Deal for Undergraduates,” the vice chancellor said already, three students were serving 10 years jail terms over conviction on cultism.

He added that some security agents in the state had approached the authorities of the school to hand over the 12 expelled students to them for further interrogation.

Professor Oloyede urged parents of the affected students to come forward and claim the remaining seven impounded vehicles on the campus to prevent the university from taking further action against the students.
