The Vice Chancellor of the Federal University of Lokoja, in Kogi State, Professor Angela Freeman Miri, has explained that Senate of the institution followed due process in expelling 13 final year students over examination leakage.

In a statement today, Monday, the Vice Chancellor said: “I can say in the affirmative that these students were expelled from the school before the second convocation in 2017 over alleged exam leakage.

“Those involved were final year students in the Economics Department. They were suspended and due process was thereafter followed.

“We set up a disciplinary committee and the examination misconduct panel and the matter was sent to the Senate.

“At the second to fourth Senate meeting, two weeks ago, the Senate sat on the matter and took the decision. It was on that basis that the Senate took its decision and expulsion letters handed to the affected students.”

She said that the institution’s disciplinary panel would decide the fate of employees that were allegedly involved in the examination scandal.
