BREAKING: FUTA expels 6 students involved in viral assault video
The Federal University of Technology Akure (FUTA), Ondo State, has expelled the six students, who were involved in the physical assault on a female undergraduate, Boluwatife Adekunle.
The students are Popoola Olaniyi Agboola (300L); Oluwadare Faith Tobiloba ( 200L); Nandi Yohanna Jessica ( 200L); Ajuwon Tolani Emmanuella (100L), Emmanuel Funmilayo Taiwo (100L), and Alao Olabimpe (100 L).
It was unclear if the students were given the opportunity to defend themselves after a video of the assault went viral and elicited condemnation from the public.
The six students, who were earlier suspended by the institution, were expelled on Tuesday, a statement from the management confirmed.
The students had molested Boluwatife after accusing her of calling them names and also speaking badly about their escapades on campus.
