Alex Ekwueme Varsity suspends student indefinitely over alleged cultism

The authorities of Alex Ekwueme Federal University, Ndufu-Alike Ikwo, Ebonyi State, have indefinitely suspended one Felix Okemini Ifesinachi over an alleged cult-related offence.

Ifesinachi, a student in the Department of Political Science, was reported to the authorities for alleged cult-related behaviour during the university’s matriculation ceremony.

This was contained in a statement issued on Friday by the university’s Registrar, Ifeanyi Igwe, and made available to journalists in Abakaliki.

The statement read: “You are hereby reminded of your matriculation oath and the fact that cult-related activities are unacceptable and against the rules and regulations governing students’ activities in the university, as well as a security and moral threat to the university community.

“Consequently, on behalf of the Senate, it has been directed that you be suspended indefinitely from the university pending the outcome of the investigation into the matter by the Students’ Disciplinary Committee.”
