“The case of Ahiante Victory Ehiremen is a shock to us, even as she is in her first year of study. I got a security report on her case, and with the official information available, an allegation of conspiracy and robbery has been established against her by the Police authorities.
“Consequently, she is in police custody for further investigations and prosecution. Ahiante Victory Ehiremen’s alleged involvement in a criminal act is in violation of her matriculation oath.
“She has made a written statement which the University has considered alongside the available intelligence report.
“The University authorities have therefore decided that Ms Ahiante Victory Ehiremen hereby placed on indefinite suspension in line
with regulations guiding
studentship pending the determination of her according the law of the Federation”

Our Richard Solomon of the College of Law was appointed ECOWAS Ambassador for Youth Development and also received Nelson Mandela Award.
