A year-two student of the Department of Computer Science at Al-Istiqama University, Sumaila, Kano State has been suspended for proposing to a fellow student on campus.
Abdullahi Juli Mansur was suspended on Tuesday for showing emotions and affection towards a fellow student, an act termed immoral by the school authority.
An internal memo signed by the school registrar Sani A. Usman with reference number AUS/REG/54 and dated May 14, 2024, confirmed the suspension of Mansur until further notice as the disciplinary committee has been set up to investigate the case for further action.
“This is to inform you that Abdullahi Juli Mansur, a student of the Department of Computer Science with registration number AUS/SCC/COM/22/1018, has been suspended for displaying improper behavior (proposing) on campus,” the notice read.
A source close to the school authority disclosed to report Afrique further details of the suspension.
“This is not the first time the student has exhibited such behavior.
He has been involved in two previous incidents, and despite being specifically warned by the university, he continued to act inappropriately,” the source explained.
“As a faith-based institution, Al-Istiqama University adheres to Islamic principles and Hausa cultural norms, which do not condone such conduct.
Therefore, the suspension was necessary.”
