After resumption in 2013, some of them were told that they “tested positive” they got expulsion letters from the school authorities, without even seeing the result of the said test.
The institution’s Director of Corporate Affairs, Mr. Adetunji Adeleye, said the decision was taken in line with the school’s values and philosophy “to raise godly children”, but the students are alleging unfairness.
Adeleye said: “A student was caught with an illicit drug. He mentioned others involved and we took them to the school clinic for tests. Some of them tested positive.”
But some of the affected students said the university authority never told them the purpose of the test and did not show them the results.
“I only saw in the expulsion letter that I tested positive to hard drugs. I asked for the result of the test, but they didn’t show me. Even if they won’t show it to me, they should at least show my parents the result,” said one of the expelled students, who preferred anonymity.
“They should have at least set up a panel of enquiry and if the panel finds us guilty, so be it,” another student said.
On the results of the tests, Mr. Adeleye said: “There is no need to show the students the results because the university cannot conspire against them.”
Adeleye defended the institution’s decision, saying the expelled students are guilty - in line with the school’s religious norms.

He said: “Nobody should think anybody hates those students. It’s not spurious. In fact, it is even painful for us because we are losing revenue by sending them away. But it’s a painful decision we must take in our quest to raise students that will transform the world. The expelled students are those that refused the university’s lifeline of a second chance.
“We wanted to help them. The university has a programme designed to help them live a normal life, but they rejected the offer. A few of them accepted and they are undergoing the programme.”
Adeleye was evasive when asked if the school’s clinic was capable of testing urine samples for hard drugs.

ReplyDeleteWe really need actions likes this to bring our youths to their senses and instill morale discipline. Anyone who can't cope should be booted out. Doc
ReplyDelete@Anonymous12.26: Is student with act of illicit drug living a good life. Is that the way to judge?
ReplyDeleteStupid danny, if you don't want anybody to dictate your life, then stay home and decay, or go on the street and do what you like , smoke your weed on the street, if your country will not dictate where you'll spend the rest of your life, there are laws that governs institutions or even countries, when you have your kids buy some weeds for them and train them to be like you are.

I can only advice the affected students to restitute and make their ways back to the college.God is a God of 2nd chance.I am sure that with pure and genuine repentant,Daddy G.O can plead for them and they can continue with their future.
ReplyDeleteRoland.
Job well done.I hope other University will do d same thing to make sure their student are drug free.
ReplyDeleteSome people think that they can decieve God, they have forgoten that it is only man that can be fooled not God. Let the affected students go and seek greener pasture somewhere else were they will find fellow weed and chain smokers, dey might even be lucky to find associates in the Big Boys that will lead them to their ultimate death, the earlier they turn to God, the better for them.
ReplyDeleteHmm Danny its too bad that in this time and age you're making such statements in support of attitude that can destroy someone's life.its better for the affected students to comply with the school's decision after all it isn't a public university,anyone that wants to life a stupid life as that can as well go to schools that are likely to tolerate such acts. So annoying ,this a good reason for expullsion how about covenant ,there was no alternative 200 students!!
