CUSTECH expels four, rusticates one over lesbianism, misconduct

The management of Confluence University of Science and Technology (CUSTECH) in Osara has intensified its disciplinary measures against student misconduct, expelling four undergraduates and rusticating one student over offences ranging from alleged lesbianism and physical assault to cyber-related misconduct.

The sanctions followed investigations conducted by the university’s Students’ Disciplinary Committee, whose recommendations were approved during the institution’s 30th Regular Senate Meeting held on 29 April 2026.

According to separate letters signed by the Deputy Registrar, Academic Affairs, Mr Eli Usman Gbadafu, two female students, Ezekiel Precious Omeneke, a 200-level Economics student, and Aku Joy Chinyere, a 200-level Accounting student, were expelled over alleged involvement in lesbianism.

Also expelled was Musa Abdulhakeem Onimisi, a 200-level Petroleum and Gas Engineering student, for alleged physical assault and stabbing of another student.

Similarly, Dominion Kolade A., a 200-level Physiotherapy student, was expelled for allegedly cloning and circulating photographs of two female students without their consent.

In a related disciplinary action, Agbakaru Kosikochukwu, a 200-level Radiography student, was rusticated for one academic session over fighting and physical assault.

The university management described the actions as part of efforts to maintain discipline, uphold moral standards, and ensure a safe learning environment within the institution.

The Vice-Chancellor of the university, Prof. Abdulrahman Asipita Salawu, commended members of the disciplinary committee for what he described as a thorough and fair investigation process.

He reiterated the institution’s commitment to producing graduates distinguished not only by academic excellence but also by good character and discipline.

The management further warned students against engaging in acts capable of jeopardising their academic future and reputation, stressing that the university would continue to enforce its rules and regulations without compromise.
