Court voids activist�s rustication by UI

The Federal High Court sitting in Ibadan has declared as null and void the rustication of a student activist at the University of Ibadan, Oyo State, Ojo Aderemi, by the university authorities.

Ojo, who was the Students� Union President at that time in the university, was rusticated on April 10, 2019, but secured an order for his reinstatement in the court presided by Justice Uche Agomoh.

�I feel vindicated, irrespective of the length of time. I believe there is no time too long to pursue justice,� he told our correspondent in a phone interview on Wednesday.

Aderemi, in a statement, said, �If I get a chance to live the past again, I will avoid this or that mistake but I will never abandon my principles. I fought and I won, for myself, for people with genuine convictions, and for all time.�

Speaking on what he was doing for the period of his rustication, Aderemi said he spent the time doing some important and productive things.
