The affected students, drawn mainly from the departments of Medicine and Surgery, Nursing, Medical Laboratory Science, Anatomy and Human Physiology, are in 300, 400 and 500 levels.

According to the university management, the students were rusticated for periods ranging between two and four semesters, with the disciplinary action taking effect from the 2025/2026 academic session.

The institution’s Registrar, Mrs. Oluwayomi Agbebaku, disclosed the development in a statement issued on Wednesday.

Agbebaku explained that the affected students were recommended for disciplinary action by the Mobile Disciplinary Committee of the College of Medicine for the 2024/2025 academic session.

She stated that the sanctioned students would not be permitted to participate in both internal and external examinations until the completion of their rustication periods.

The university also imposed additional penalties on some of the students.

According to the statement, the courses of certain affected students would not be upgraded, while the result of one student would remain uncomputed until the disciplinary period expires.

The management noted that one of the accused students was eventually cleared after investigations.

The student’s mobile phone, which had earlier been seized, was returned after the university issued a stern warning.
