Redeemers University recalls ‘cocaine addict’ students on condition of them spending 5-months at a Rehab centre

Redeemers University has reviewed the case of
the 28 students expelled over drug related
offenses. This is coming the after much criticism
their expulsion generated in February 2013. The
school management rescinded their decision
and beckoned on them on April 8th,2013 to face
a panel for a fresh review of the judgement.
The panel met twice and after several denials
by the offenders,they reached a compromise. I
learnt that the school did a detour in its decision
after parents decided to deal with the school.
Consequently,the school said that the only
condition to reinstate the students is if they can
go for a 5-month rehabilitation at a Rehab
centre. The students will miss a whole
semester.The students will be re-admitted
immediately they are done with the
rehabilitation.
The expulsion saga started when 42 students
were randomly picked during their exam in
November 2012.They were asked to go for
routine ‘tests’.After resumption, January 2013,
some of them were told that they ‘tested’
positive to cocaine. Those who tested positive
were immediately expelled.A student source
stated that when he saw the expulsion letter, he
demanded for the test result but the authorities
ignored him.
