Sequel to the protest at Caleb
University reported last Wednesday, the
institution has been closed down
temporarily.
It was gathered that the protest
which went violent, had the
students destroying cars of staff
and other properties in the
school.
The Vice Chancellor, Prof. Ayo
Olukoju, while announcing the
temporal closure said the protest
by the students has necessitated
this and said the school will
resume on June 2nd.
In his words, “We have rules and
regulations in the school and all
the students agreed to abide by
them. These rules are in the
student handout. Before now, we
have been applying appropriate
sanctions against students who
default in any of these rules. We
wanted to enforce one of such
sanctions on Wednesday before
this crisis escalated.”
It would be recalled that the
protest started when a Muslim
student was said to have been
rudely interrupted while
observing prayers by a school
staff.
