Crawford University has expelled a 300-level student, Eboma Raymond, over alleged misconduct, amid claims the action was linked to his criticism of poor facilities and learning conditions.
Crawford University, Igbesa, Ogun State, has expelled a 300-level Physics with Electronics student, Eboma Raymond, following allegations of misconduct, in a move that has sparked concerns over students’ rights and freedom of expression. In an expulsion letter dated April 24, 2026, the university said the decision followed recommendations by its Students’ Disciplinary Committee, accusing Raymond of making “seditious statements” against authorities, insubordination and inciting unrest on campus.
“The Vice Chancellor has received and considered the recommendation of the Students’ Disciplinary Committee in respect of your gross misconduct,” the letter read. “To wit, making seditious statement against the university authorities, insubordination, making grave and unsubstantiated allegations against the University and its Governing Organs, exhibiting conduct capable of undermining discipline, peace, and order within the University community, inciting protest and unrest, which is a breach of your matriculation oath.” The university added, “He has therefore approved that you be EXPELLED from the University with immediate effect. You are to hand over to the Dean, Student Affairs, your student’s identity card and all other University properties in your possession and vacate the University premises immediately.”
However, sources familiar with the matter alleged Raymond’s expulsion was linked to his criticism of dilapidated infrastructure, inadequate learning facilities and policies seen as hostile to students despite high tuition fees. “Eboma Raymond was expelled because he had the courage to challenge the university’s draconian policies, bad infrastructure despite huge fees, and dilapidated educational facilities,” one source told SaharaReporters, as the development continues to stir debate over student activism and disciplinary actions in higher institutions.
