Ogun Fed Poly Expels Female Student Over Possession Of Codeine-Based Syrup, Cannabis

The management of the Federal Polytechnic, Ilaro in Ogun State has confirmed the expulsion of a female student, Susan Isoyo, who was arrested by the operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) ten months ago.

The Rector of the school, Dr. Mukail Akinde, disclosed this during a media briefing to usher in the school’s combined 2024 convocation ceremony.

Akinde explained that Isoyo was brought before a panel in the schools after she was released by the NDLEA, adding she was found guilty of the offences subsequently sent her off the school campus.

“We allowed the law enforcement agencies to exhaust their laws after which we commenced our own internal rule.

“Immediately she was released, we commenced our internal process of disciplinary action and I can tell you that the student is no longer our student. She has been relieved,” Akinde said.

The rector, who stated that the school detest any situation that could bring its name to disrepute, stated that the school has commenced a routine drug test for its students.

He noted that anyone caught with traces of hard drugs would be immediately expelled.

“We have a policy in place that allows us to test our students whenever we observe anything strange about any student and once we discover that there is a trace of hard drugs on any student, we send such a student away regardless of the son of whoever the student might be.

“This process has in no small measure helped the school to curtail cultism on our campus and we must also thank our traditional ruler, Oba Kehinde Olugbenle, who has in no small measures helped us to curtail cultism and other social vices,” the rector said.
