The management of the Ajayi Crowther University, Oyo State has expelled some students of the institution for beating a fellow student to death over an alleged stolen phone.
The management disclosed this in a statement on Sunday, May 26, 2024.
“The University has zero tolerance for any sort of anti-societal vices and misconduct. It is important to stress that the expelled students do not belong to any cult group.
“What actually happened is that the deceased was alleged to have stolen a mobile telephone, but instead of reporting the issue to the University management, the expelled students could not control their emotions.
“The University has taken swift action by handing over all the students involved to the Nigeria Police Force for investigation, with the assurance that justice will be served.” the statement reads.
Recall that a male student of the Ajayi Crowther University, Oyo town in Oyo State was physically assaulted by his colleagues for allegedly stealing a mobile phone.
He was reportedly beaten from 10 pm to 6 am in a hostel known as Shepherd Inn after the mobile phone had been recovered from him, leading to his death.
Trending videos of the incident sighted by Chronicle NG show how a group of students beat the yet-to-be-identified student and also shaved his head.
