Confluence University of Science and Technology (CUSTECH) in Kogi State has expelled four students and suspended another for one academic session following disciplinary actions taken over various misconduct cases. The decisions were made after thorough investigations by the university’s Students’ Disciplinary Committee, with recommendations approved during the institution’s 30th Regular Senate Meeting on April 29, 2026. The university emphasized that the actions were taken to uphold discipline, ensure a safe learning environment, and promote ethical conduct among students.
Among those expelled is Ezekiel Precious Omeneke, a 200-level Economics student, and Aku Joy Chinyere, a 200-level Accounting student, both accused of involvement in lesbian activities. The university’s official letter, signed by Deputy Registrar in charge of Academic Affairs, Mr. Eli Usman Gbadafu, confirmed the expulsion of both students based on the findings of the disciplinary panel. Another expelled student is Musa Abdulhakeem Onimisi, a 200-level Petroleum and Gas Engineering student, who was found guilty of attacking and stabbing another student during a physical altercation on campus.
Dominion Kolade, a 200-level Physiotherapy student, was also expelled for allegedly cloning and sharing photographs of two female students without their consent. The university stated that this act violated student conduct policies and breached privacy rights. In a separate case, Agbakaru Kosikochukwu, a 200-level Radiography student, was suspended for one academic session after being found guilty of fighting and physical assault. The disciplinary panel concluded that his actions disrupted campus peace and endangered others.
The Vice-Chancellor of CUSTECH, Professor Abdulrahman Salawu, commended the disciplinary committee for conducting a fair and comprehensive investigation into each case. He stressed that the university remains committed to fostering an environment of discipline, integrity, and academic excellence. Salawu added that the institution is determined to produce graduates who not only excel academically but also demonstrate strong moral character.
The disciplinary actions have sparked discussions across campus and in the wider academic community, with some calling for more sensitivity in handling cases involving personal matters. However, the university maintains that all decisions were made in accordance with its student conduct regulations and were aimed at preserving order and safety. CUSTECH’s leadership has urged students to adhere to institutional rules and to report any misconduct promptly.
As the academic year progresses, the university is expected to continue enforcing its disciplinary policies to maintain a conducive learning environment. These recent actions underscore the institution’s resolve to uphold standards of behavior and ensure that all students contribute positively to campus life.
