Nigerians have hailed the Federal University of Technology, Akure, Ondo State (FUTA) for its decision to expel six students for assaulting a female student outside its campus on November 16.
Clips of the attack went viral last week showing five students — one male and four females —beating up a female 100 level student, Boluwatife, in her room.

In a statement on Tuesday, FUTA deputy director of corporate communications, Adegbenro Adebanjo, said the students were expelled in line with the position of Page 48 of the 2019/2020 Students Handbook.
The move followed the report of the disciplinary panel set up by FUTA management to probe the incident.
Nigerians on Twitter have hailed the varsity for the decision, saying it is justice well served.
