UNICAL suspends student over ‘unruly behaviour’

The management of the University of Calabar (UNICAL) has suspended a 400-level student of the Department of Sociology, Olunkanmi Oluwafoyin, over unruly behaviour on campus.

The student’s suspension was announced via a statement issued on Saturday by the UNICAL Registrar, Gabriel Egbe.

Egbe stated that the UNICAL student was suspended for allegedly violating her matriculation oath through unruly behaviour and endangering lives and property on the university campus.

The UNICAL Registrar said Oluwafoyin, with registration number 18/104143018, was reported to have, on February 8, driven recklessly against traffic at high speed within the campus with some students hanging precariously on the doors and booth of her car.

He stated that in the course of her action, a university security officer was injured and the campus was invaded on her behest by external parties.

“The alleged action was in flagrant disregard of an earlier warning as conveyed in a circular of January 30.

“Consequently, management has suspended Miss Oluwafoyin’s studentship with effect from February 8, pending the outcome of the matter which has been referred to the Students’ Disciplinary Committee for further investigation.

“Meanwhile, Miss Oluwafoyin is also to stay away from campus except on invitation by the Students’ Disciplinary Committee.

“The Dean of Social Sciences, Head, Department of Sociology and the Chief Security Officer are to ensure strict compliance with the directives,” Egbe added.
