...Promises Stiff Sanctions

The Federal University of Technology Akure (FUTA), in Ondo State, has suspended the students involved in the bullying of a female student in one of the off-campus hostels on Saturday November 16, 2019.

A group of FUTA students were caught on camera assaulting a female 100 level student mercilessly in her room. She was later identified simply as Bimpe, of Ecotourism and Wildlife Management Department.

About five students, one male and four females, ganged up against the female student, accusing her of saying something she was not supposed to, which resulted in her getting the beating of her life.

A statement made available to CAMPUS GIST on Sunday, announced the suspension of the assaulters by the school management.

The statement signed by Adegbenro Adebanjo, FUTA’s Deputy Director,
Corporate Communications, said the university had commenced investigations into the circumstances that led to the odious and unfortunate act.

“The University deplores such behavior and reiterates that all those found to be culpable will be visited with the full weight of the law under the extant rules and regulations governing Students behavior and conduct off and on the campus at the conclusion of investigation being carried out by the Students Affairs Division.

“The University Management is providing medical and counseling support for the affected student”, he said.

“The University reiterates its abhorrence of any action or behavior by students that are inimical to the well-being of others and will continue to sanction students who run foul of its rules and regulations.

“For the avoidance of doubt only students who are worthy in learning and character can lay claim to and be addressed as FUTA students”, added Adebanjo.

Investigations by CAMPUS GIST revealed that the students may be outrightly expelled from the school, at the end of the investigation, as prescribed in FUTA’s student handbook.
