I'm a product of that department (Department of Statistics) and going through your write up, I came to conclusion that you are not saying the whole truth.
If these people have genuine case, they can articulate their facts/points and approach the school management through their union, Postgraduate Students Association (POGSAS) instead of threatening their lecturers.

From my independent findings (From the seniors ones in the department) since two days ago when I came across this post, I found out that;
1. These people failed one or more courses hence they could not graduate with their set
2. It's a kind of indictment on the department by going on social media that the department used to waive one or two courses before Adeleke became HOD. This is not normal, the management must not know about this assertion!
3. Processing of PG results is different from that of undergraduate. It passes through many stages, especially for those that have over- stayed.
4. From 2015/2016 session, the minimum number of period for M.Sc. is 18 calender months not 12 calendar months as before.
5. I was reliably informed that these people results have been approved by the Senate. It was just their names are not graduation proceedings. Their results/certificate are ready for collection.
6. I think, one of the problems here is communication gap or total breakdown of communication between the students and the HOD (Department)
6. I can boldly say anywhere that Statistics Department is upright, discipline, ever efficient and will never compromise academic integrity.

KUDOS to all them!

Conclusion.

While the students concerned have right to be agitated, they suppose to go about it in a very matured and civilized manner.

God bless us all
