Student Expelled From Law School For Speaking Against Poor Welfare

A University of Ibadan alumnus, Mr. Kayode Bello popularly called ‘Kay Bello’ has been expelled from the Nigerian Law School.
Until the time of his expulsion, Kayode Bello has been a student of the Nigerian Law School, Abuja campus.

The University of Ibadan graduate, who recently concluded the compulsory court attachment programme of the Nigerian Law School was shown the way out of the Bar programme after a series of face off and encounter between him and the management of the institution The Page Reports.

It should be noted that the final Bar examination for this year comes up on August 15, 2017.

According to one of his colleagues, who spoke under the condition of anonymity, trouble 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 mobilize his colleagues at the Abuja campus of the Nigerian 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, Lawyard was informed that there was a summary trial but he failed to show up.

In a Phone Call with Online Newspaper THEPAGE, 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.”

Kay Bello was bundled out of the Library
