Over 200 students were expelled from Convenant University, owned by
Bishop Oyedepo of Winners Chapel. Oyedepo who’s the chancellor of the
school, visited the school’s chapel unannounced and wasn’t too happy
with what he saw.
Nigeria’s topmost christian
university,Covenant University,owned by Bishop David oyedepo is known
for their strict rules and Shrewd Discipline,well last saturday, over
200 students were shown the way out of the University.
The institution popularly known for not allowing students to use
phones,had their departure last saturday evening when trouble erupted,
the vice chancellor was giving a speech when students started diving
through the chapel doors and windows.
Suddenly the Chancellor, Bishop oyedepo started making his way
through the Chapel, anger visibly displaying on his face, he called the
former dean of student affairs,Mr bassey. As both men left the
chapel,Other members of staff and faculty even the VC followed the duo
outside for a brief meeting.
By then students were gripped to their seats in terror wondering what
might have happened,it was discovered that the chancellor was angry
because students were seen loitering around the chapel,some talking and
gisting,while some were playing.
The chancellor entered the chapel premises unannounced and as some
students discovered who it was,They took their heels,Many students
started running into the chapel scrambling for seats and any free space
they could, some boys who did not have ties on,started looking for ways
to acquire some,even a group of boys numbering up to five allegedly took
a girl’s scarf and ripped it to shreds using the parts to produce
makeshift ties all not to get into trouble.
Then the members of faculty and staff started returning back into the
chapel, then the education secretary,Mrs.Aize Obayan took to the
podium, as she was speaking,students were murmuring,then the Chancellor
walked up to the podium and politely took the microphone, he said ”if i
hear the voice of any student, the curse of the lord shall fall upon
that one”. the chapel went dead silent.
That night, the chancellor spoke on Discipline and his vision for the
university, immediately after the chancellor finished his speech and
left the chapel,The vice chancellor took the mic and told the students
to wait behind because a search was going to be carried out in all the
halls of residence in order to fish out students who did not attend the
service.
25 final years students were caught and an undisclosed number of
lower level students,two students were caught smoking weed,more than 200
students were expelled from the university.
