Yaba Tech's Cult Gangs: Rector Accused Of Desperate Efforts To Victimize Whistle-Blower

According to a source, the Rector of Yaba College of Technology, Kudirat Ladipo, has been accused of exploring desperate means to victimize Fatima Salau, a final-year student of the institution for daring to reveal how the school's management props up and shields cult gangs.

A lecturer at the institution said that part of Ms. Ladipo's moves was to set up a panel which would be used to victimize the student after she had written her exam.

It was learnt that the whistle-blower, Ms. Salau, wrote her last paper on Thursday, November 21, 2013 and immediately received a letter from the school's management to face an indicting panel.

Her offense is that she reportedly stated that the institution's top officials were responsible for the absurd increase in the number of cult members and their violent activities on campus.

Several sources said the panel was clearly out to intimidate the whistle-blower when she appeared before them. They said the panel members informed Ms. Salau that she faced the risk of not receiving her statement of results for the Higher National Diploma (HND) she recently concluded.

In addition, our sources disclosed that Ms. Salau was also warned that her National Diploma (ND), which she earned more than two years ago before enrolling for the HND, may also be recalled.

Ms. Salau, the Public Relations Officer of the Lagos State chapter of the Joint Campus Committee of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), a few weeks ago, disclosed that the spike in the violent activities of cult gangs, which led to a recent closure of the school by protesting students, was due to the strong backing cult members received from the management of the College.

A lecturer said he learnt that the panel was shocked when it asked Ms. Salau if she regrets her whistle-blowing action and she answered with a resounding "No!".
