The Federal University of Technology Akure, FUTA has suspended students involved in the bullying of a female student in one of the off-campus hostels and launched investigations into the circumstances that led to the odious and unfortunate act.

The University through a communiqué condemns such behaviour and reiterates that anyone found culpable will be visited with the full weight of the law under the extant rules and regulations governing Students behaviour and conduct off and on the campus at the conclusion of an investigation being carried out by the Students Affairs Division.

The University Management is currently providing medical and counselling support for the affected student.

The University reiterates its abhorrence of any action or behaviour by students that are inimical to the well-being of others and will continue to sanction students who run afoul of its rules and regulations.

For the avoidance of doubt, only students who are worthy in learning and character can lay claim to and be addressed as FUTA students.
