CULTISM: YUSUFF OMOTOLA DISQUALIFIED FROM LASUSU PRESIDENTIAL RACE

At the screening session, the university authority said, YUSUFF, Wasiu Omotola, a 300 Level Economics Education (Language Art and Social Science Education) student and presidential candidate, initially tried to conceal information regarding his activities at the Federal College of Education – Technical, Akoka where he was rusticated for cultism.

He was said to have later confirmed that he was suspended from the College on allegation of breach of peace and cultism in 2012.

“There is no documentary evidence to prove that he has been cleared of this allegation or that his suspension from FCE Technical, Akoka has been vacated”, LASU authority said.

It added that Mr. YUSUFF, Wasiu Omotola was given several opportunities to redeem himself by voluntarily and honourably opting out of the LASUSU presidential race.

“However, such magnanimous entreaties were met with utter disdain and unbridled arrogance. Furthermore, it is on record that Mr. YUSUFF, Wasiu Omotola flagrantly refused to complete the security background check form made available to all contestants in the LASUSU general election race.

“Consequently, in consonance with LASU Management’s policy of zero tolerance to cultism and other forms of gangterism, YUSUFF, Wasiu Omotola, a presidential aspirant, stands DISQUALIFIED pending when he can provide documentary evidence that the allegation against him is false”, the school said in a statement.
