MAPOLY EXPELS 14 STUDENTS OVER VIOLENT DEMONSTRATION

14 students have been expelled from Moshood Abiola Polytechnic following the violence that occurred on Tuesday during the Students' Union Government election. Protesting students allegedly destroyed school property while protesting against alleged interference in the SUG election by the MAPOLY  authorities.

 A statement by the school's  Public Relations Officer, Sulaimon Adebiyi read in part, “The management of Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, Abeokuta has proscribed the Students’ Union of the polytechnic.

“This development became imperative following the disruption of the students’ union election on September 18, 2012 on the campus of the polytechnic, which led to the cancellation of the election by the Students’ Union Electoral Commission,  which was endorsed by the management.

The school authorities have advised the expelled students to steer clear off the polytechnic.
