Premium Times reports that Benedicta Daudu was suspended by UNIJOS and from her masters programme following the institution’s Senate Disciplinary Committee recommendation.
“I can confirm to you that the Senate Disciplinary Committee found her guilty of the allegations, and has suspended her from the Masters programme for two semesters,” an official of UNIJOS said.
The official said: “Also, the matter was referred to the Staff Disciplinary Committee which also suspended her from work. So she is no longer teaching.”
It was also gathered that despite the alleged offence committed, Daudu has also sued the institution for suspending her.
The matter is still pending in court.
Daudu was suspended after she was allegedly caught cheating during an examination on May 4.
She was reportedly copying answers from an already prepared paper during her master’s degree examination in research and public policy in the faculty of social sciences at the University of Jos.
She was also accused of sneaking in prepared answers commonly referred to as chokes’ by students into an examination in Global context in Public Policy course at the same institution.
Meanwhile, following the allegation, Daudu who was also a member of the Presidential Advisory Committee against Corruption was suspended by the committee.
However, on Sunday, October 9, the tallest building at the University of Jos caught fire at about 7 pm.
An eyewitness, Francis Lawrence had told NAIJ.com that the fire slowly spread and affected the departments of sociology, psychology, political science, and the library.
The witness also said that virtually, all the offices on the first and second floors were affected.
