A Nigerian university has expelled 432 students for allegedly impersonating or using forged documents to gain admission, a university official said on Thursday.
Some of the students thrown out Wednesday by the Obafemi Awolowo University in southwest Ile-Ife were in their final year, said the official, who asked not to be named.
The university, founded more than 40 years ago, is one of the nation’s oldest. Thousands of students have been expelled from Nigeria’s higher education institutions in the past five years for forgery, cheating in examinations or belonging to secret campus gangs. – Sapa-AFP
