Saturday, October 18, 2025 - The management of Ebonyi State University, Abakaliki, has expelled three students over alleged unlawful possession of firearms.
The Vice-Chancellor of the University, Professor Michael
Awoke, announced their expulsion during the inauguration of the newly elected
Students’ Union Government executives for the 2025/2026 session, held on
Friday.
Professor Awoke stated that the decision was taken to serve
as a deterrent to others, warning that the era of cultism was over in the
university. He stressed that anyone found guilty of cultism, examination
malpractice, or in possession of weapons intended to intimidate students or
staff would be expelled immediately.
The three expelled students were reportedly arrested with
guns and live ammunition during the recent Students’ Union Government election
in the university.
The management identified the expelled students as Azubike
Lawrence of the Department of Medical Laboratory Science; Enyinnaya Ibe Kenneth
of the Department of Architecture; and Njoku Joshua of the Department of Animal
Science.
