Law School Expels Student Few Days To Bar Final Exams

According to The Page, one of his colleagues, who spoke under the condition
of anonymity, said trouble had started for Kay Bello in Law School when he wrote
a petition against the management of the Nigeria Law School over what he alleged
as poor social welfare conditions.

It was stated that Kay Bello printed
fliers and sort to mobilise his colleagues at the Abuja campus of Law school to
stand against the management and demand for a better living condition in terms
of conducive classrooms and hostel facilities to justify the expensive fees they
had paid for the school.

However, It was gathered that after Kay Bello
wrote the petition and submitted, the leadership of the Students’
Representatives Council of the Nigerian Law School in a letter to the management
disowned him, stating that he was acting solely on his “own volition” and not
representing the students’ interest.

We later learnt that he was queried and told to withdraw his petition
but Kay Bello refused.

After the conclusion of the court attachment
programme, The Page was informed that there was a summary trial but he failed to
show up.

In a Phone Call with The Page, Kay Bello confirmed the expulsion
from the Nigerian Law School programme and added that he is currently working on
getting a bigger platform to protest his expulsion.

According to him, “It
is in connection with the petition. They want me to beg but you know that I will
never beg.”

Meanwhile, the management has published a poster containing
his expulsion information and pasted around the law school campus.

Another colleague speaking revealed that when Kay Bello was expelled,
he refused to leave and was still using the school’s library when security
officials had to bundled him out of the institution.

Recall that he was
earlier rusticated from the University of Ibadan on April 13, 2010 following his
involvement in a protest over hike in school fees in 2008.
