Nasarawa State University, Keffi, has rusticated 37 students for one academic session due to their involvement in creating a WhatsApp group aimed at organizing protests against the university’s decision to begin its third semester. The students were accused of "criminal conspiracy, inciting disturbance of public peace, and cyber-stalking."
Documents show that the students were summoned before the Students' Disciplinary Committee, which led to their rustication. The university's Senate approved the punishment, which also includes a ban on the students from the university premises unless authorized. They will be allowed to resume their studies in the 2025/2026 academic session, but only after submitting a letter of undertaking promising good behavior.
The students were previously invited to appear before the disciplinary committee regarding their actions related to the September 2024 post-SUG election crisis.
