The Federal University Dutse (FUD) has approved disciplinary sanctions against 22 students following consideration of a report from its Students’ Disciplinary Committee.
According to the university’s official weekly newsletter, the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Ahmad Mohammed Gumel, reviewed the report from the committee’s 20th meeting and approved the expulsion of 12 students. Five other students were rusticated, while another five received warning letters for various disciplinary offences.
The cases involved offences including criminal conspiracy, armed robbery, phone theft, robbery and cult-related activities, drug abuse, attempted sexual assault and cyberbullying.

The 12 students whose cases resulted in expulsion were listed in the university publication alongside their matriculation numbers and the offences associated with their disciplinary decisions.

The publication states that the affected students were found guilty of the offences listed in the disciplinary report before the expulsion decisions were approved.
Five Students Receive Rustication
The university also approved rustication for five students.
The newsletter explains that four students were rusticated for two semesters, while one student received a one-semester rustication in connection with cases involving cyberbullying and sexual assault.
However, the table in the publication does not specify which individual student received the one-semester sanction and which four received two-semester sanctions. The five students listed under the rustication decision are:
| S/N | Student | Matric Number | Offence | Decision |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 13 | Muhammad Bashir Umar | FASS/CSS/22/1084 | Attempted Sexual Assault | Rustication |
| 14 | Uwua Joseph | FCP/CSC/24/1105 | Cyber Bullying | Rustication |
| 15 | Ahmed Tela Abdulhakim | FCP/CSC/24/1083 | Cyber Bullying | Rustication |
| 16 | Abdurrasheed Salahuddeen Abdulkareem | FCP/CSC/25/2015 | Cyber Bullying | Rustication |
| 17 | Ibrahim Iliyasu | FCP/CSC/24/1095 | Cyber Bullying | Rustication |
Because the published table gives only the general decision of “Rustication” for these five entries, no individual duration has been assigned to a particular student in this report.
Five Students Receive Warning Letters
Five additional students were issued warning letters over disciplinary matters.
The offences listed for this group include drug abuse off campus, attempted sexual assault and cyberbullying.
| S/N | Student | Matric Number | Offence | Decision |

| 19 | Rabia Batagarawa Ibrahim | FASS/ACS/25/1018 | Attempted Sexual Assault | Warning Letter |
| 20 | Oladimeji Olubenga Samson | FCP/CSC/24/1013 | Cyber Bullying | Warning Letter |
| 21 | Saratu Samaila | FCP/CSC/24/1060 | Cyber Bullying | Warning Letter |
| 22 | Mubarak Ajigumina Adeshina | FCP/CYB/24/1055 | Cyber Bullying | Warning Letter |
Breakdown of the Disciplinary Decisions
The disciplinary actions reported in the newsletter comprise three categories:
- 12 students: Expulsion

This brings the total number of students listed in the disciplinary report to 22.
The offences range from criminal conspiracy and armed robbery to phone theft, robbery, cult-related activities, drug abuse, attempted sexual assault and cyberbullying.
What the University Publication Reports
The disciplinary decisions followed the review of the Students’ Disciplinary Committee report by the Vice-Chancellor. The publication identifies the 20th meeting of the committee as the source of the report considered before the decisions were approved.
The newsletter does not provide a date for the disciplinary committee meeting or specify separate rustication periods for each of the five affected students. For that reason, those details have not been inferred beyond what is expressly stated in the publication.
Conclusion
Federal University Dutse has approved disciplinary measures against 22 students following the consideration of cases by its Students’ Disciplinary Committee. The decisions comprise 12 expulsions, five rustications and five warning letters, covering the offences recorded in the university’s official weekly newsletter.
The publication provides the names, matriculation numbers, offences and decisions for all 22 students, while noting that four of the rusticated students received two-semester sanctions and one received a one-semester sanction without identifying the individual durations in the accompanying table.
