Covenant University reconsiders the students who were expelled because they did not attend the end of the semester church service..

LAGOS — The authorities of the Covenant University, Ota, Ogun State, might have commuted the expulsion of its 200 students.

The university authorities were last week asked by the National Human Rights Commission of Nigeria to come forward with all records of the processes that led to the expulsion.

But we learnt yesterday from a reliable source in National Human Rights Commission that the university authorities, which will be meeting with the Commission on Friday in Abuja, has denied expelling the students, but said they were suspended.

The lawyer to the University, Dele Adesina (SAN) when contacted last night on phone denied any knowledge of the commuttal of expulsion to suspension.

It will be recalled that we had earlier reported the expulsion of 126 students of the university for not attending the ‘departure service’, meant to sign off from the school at the end or the semester on November 30.
