Latest
report reaching us confirmed that the over 108 student of
the University of Ilorin who recently matriculated in the University
have been expelled from the institution after they were discovered to
have obtained admission into the institution through dubious means.
Prof. Ambali disclosed this last Friday (May 13, 2016) while
exchanging views with the Kwara State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Sam
Okaula, who visited him in his office.
The
Vice-Chancellor noted that because of the stable academic calendar and
culture of excellence in the University, the pressure to secure
admission into the institution is high, resulting in some candidates
seeking illegal and unauthorized ways to gain admission into the
University.
Prof. Ambali assured the Police Commissioner of the University’s
continuous cooperation, promising that the University would be ready to
offer the Police any information they might require in the course of
their work, saying, “We will volunteer any information you need to
succeed”.
The Vice-Chancellor reiterated the University’s stance on zero
tolerance for cultism and indecent dressing, stressing that it has
helped to maintain sanity among the students.
Prof. Ambali informed the Commissioner of Police that members of the
force that might be interested in further education could take advantage
of the opportunity provided by the University of Ilorin Centre for
Peace and Strategic Studies (CPSS).
Earlier in his remarks, the Commissioner of Police said he has great
respect for the University of Ilorin, which, according to him, is one of
the best universities in Africa because of its stable academic
calendar.
Mr. Okaula said that security is a collective responsibility of every
member of a community, praising the University for not having a single
student among the 118 students that were recently arrested for
cult-related activities.
He commended the Security Unit of the University of Ilorin for its
focus, discipline, and professionalism, assuring the Vice-chancellor of
the continuous support of the Police.
The Commissioner of Police disclosed that the Police Force has
adopted scientific investigation method, noting that some of the
officers in the Force would require more education as he pleaded with
the Vice-Chancellor to assist them in securing admission to improve
their capacity to be able to better deal with crimes in the country.
The CP was accompanied by ACP Akeem Yusuf, ACP Abubakar A. Yahaya,
ACP Polycarp S. Kpai, CSP Nzota Chidi and SP Salihu T. Mynmrioles. Also
on the entourage were DSP Fabode Moses, ASP Ajayi Okasanmi, ASP Eludire
