Kogi Polytechnic Expels 42 Students

Forty Two Students have been expelled from Kogi State Polytechnic, Lokoja in Kogi State, for offenses bordering on theft, examination malpractices and forging of results.

Our Kogi State Correspondent, reports that the Head, Public Relations and Protocol Unit of the Polytechnic, Mrs. Uredo Omale, made the disclosure in a statement made available to newsmen today, Friday May 21.

Omale, noted that the Academic Board of the Institution, approved the expulsion of the 42 Students after its emergency meeting held yesterday, Thursday May 20.

According Omale, the Board considered reports of various committees, before arriving at the decision to expel the erring students.

Among the expelled students is Mr. Victor Attah of ND II, Business Administration Department, with Matric No 2018/ND/BUS/903.

According to the Institution’s Spokesperson, Victor Attah, was involved in the running of an illegal examination syndicate, popularly known as Magic Centre, in connivance with one Ibrahim Hayatu, who was the alleged ring leader.

"The centre was busted sometime ago, precisely on 5th November, 2020, at Sarkin Noma in Lokoja. One Mr. Akerele Oluwaseun, an ND I student of the Department of Computer Science, with Matric No 2019/ND/CPS/676 was expelled for stealing a bag, belonging to one Abdulganiyu Mohammed, from the same Department", she said.

The other 40 expelled students are those that allegedly forged National Diploma, ND, Results to secure Higher National Diploma, HND, admission.

It was gathered that the Academic Board was presided over by the Kogi State Polytechnic Rector, Dr. Salisu O. Usman, who resolved that the provisional admission of the detected students, be withdrawn for Gross Misconduct.

In a related development, the Board also constituted an Investigative Committee to take a comprehensive look at the results from the Department of Business Administration in the last three academic sessions.
