IBBUL Senate Expels 400-Level Student Over Examination Misconduct

The Senate of Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida University, Lapai (IBBUL), has approved the expulsion of a 400-level student of the Faculty of Arts over examination misconduct.

The decision was taken at the 109th Regular Meeting of the University Senate following consideration of a report submitted by the Senate Committee on Examination Misconduct.

The Committee, chaired by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic), Professor Aliyu Bello Mohammed, investigated the case involving Alfa Hussaini, a student of History and International Studies in the Faculty of Arts.

According to the Committee’s report dated July 22, 2026, the student was allegedly found in possession of a piece of paper containing handwritten materials relevant to the Islamic Interpretation of History (ISS 409) examination while writing the examination.

The report stated that the student admitted entering the examination hall with the handwritten material.

The Committee further established that the material belonged to the student and that its contents were relevant to the examination. It also found that the student allegedly refused to complete the University’s examination misconduct form when requested by the invigilators.

The Committee noted that the student’s statement of result had already been issued.

Relying on the provisions of the 2024 Edition of the IBB University Student Handbook, the Committee concluded that the offences of possessing unauthorised examination material relevant to the examination and refusing to complete the examination misconduct form each attract the penalty of expulsion.

Following deliberations on the matter, the Senate approved the Committee’s recommendation and directed that the student be expelled from the University.

The Senate also approved the retrieval of the statement of result that had earlier been issued to the student.
