The Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, (LAUTECH), Ogbomoso, has expelled four of its students over post-students union election violence on June 13. Eight others were placed on suspension.

Other expelled students are Akinloye Oluwatimileyin, department of Pure and Applied Physics; Eze Raymond, department of Management and Accounting; and Dauda Sodiq, department of Chemical Engineering.
According to an official statement signed by the Registrar of the institution, Jacob Agboola, and sent to students’ emails on Wednesday, the university’s Senate at an emergency meeting held Tuesday considered the report and recommendations of the panel set up to investigate the matter.
