Three Students Arrested at UNIZIK for Defying Signing-Out Ban

Barely 24 hours after the Management of Nnamdi Azikiwe University announced a ban on signing-out activities for final-year students, three students have been arrested for flouting the directive.

Reports indicate that some students who completed their final examinations gathered their friends and family members to sign on their shirts, assuming the restriction would not take immediate effect. A viral video shows security operatives storming a hall and arresting two young women and one young man for engaging in the outlawed activity.

The University had earlier declared an indefinite suspension of signing-out ceremonies, citing repeated incidents of disorder, violence, property damage, and infiltration of unauthorized persons during such events.

Registrar of the University, Dr. Chinenye Okeke, warned that students caught violating the directive risk severe disciplinary sanctions, including expulsion, while non-students could face prosecution for breach of peace.

With the latest arrests, the University has begun strict enforcement of the ban.
