The University of Ilorin has sanctioned 13 students for various acts of misconduct, acting on the recommendations of its Students’ Disciplinary Committee (SDC).
The decisions were reached at the SDC’s 227th meeting held on October 9, 2025, and were conveyed to the affected students in letters dated December 22, 2025, copies of which were obtained by the UNILORIN Bulletin.
According to the letters, six students were expelled with immediate effect, six others were rusticated for one academic session, while one student received a formal warning.
Those expelled include Abdulhafeez Abdulhammed (Educational Technology), Esther Ajuma Matthew and Divine Tijesunimi Stanislous (Human Kinetics), Qozeem Abdulateef Mohammed (Centre for Open and Distance Learning), Sormidat Oluwatosin Lawal (Health Education), and Doris Comfort Falusi (History and International Studies).
The expelled students were directed to surrender all University property, including identity cards, and were barred from accessing the campus. They were also informed of their right to appeal to the University Council through their respective deans.
Six students were rusticated for the 2025/2026 academic session. They are Idowu Oluwadamilola Owoade (Civil Engineering), Quayum Damilare Aderibigbe and Faruq (Finance), Onimisi Abdulmajeed Aliyu (Quantity Surveying), Emmanuel Olayeni (Water Resources Engineering), and Sulton Abidemi Salman (Agriculture).
The rusticated students were instructed to submit all University property and remain off campus until the 2026/2027 academic session, after which they are to present evidence of rehabilitation from a recognised medical facility certified by the University Health Services.
One student, Isaac Chuks Okoh of the Department of Science Education, received a formal warning and was cautioned that any repeat of the misconduct would attract stiffer sanctions.
The University said the disciplinary actions were taken in line with its rules and regulations to maintain discipline and ensure a conducive academic environment.
