The decision by the university have been condemned by many students a student who spoke to one of our correspondent said that the decision by the university to expel the students is a cruel one and will cause disaster if care is not take, in her word, she said “ so it means we caanot speak our mind, we cannot talk gain when things are going wrong, the university expelled these students to shut the rest of us up but it will not work, we will stand for our right. The VC should please look into this matter, these students are in their final year for Christ sake if the VC wants to punish, there are many ways to do it but not expulsion. the wrong these students did is that the spoke our mind on the maltreatment we are suffering in this school, this is the first time FUTO students are protesting you should know that for us to protest, the situation have gotten to our neck”
