Nwelue
told reporters that checks in the school’s student data system,
confirmed that the three males, who allegedly took part in the sex orgy
at the hostel near the institution, were students of FUTO.
The
university’s spokesperson said, “I can now confirm to you that all the
three boys, who took part in the alleged sex incident after an alleged
drug overdose, were students of the university.
“The only female
among them is not our student; she is from the Federal Polytechnic,
Nekede. That is the true situation of things as it concerns the
studentship of the victims.”
Asked what the university would do
now that it had confirmed that three out of the four students were from
the institution, Nwelue stated, “The university is actually handicapped
as it relates to this matter.
“The incident happened outside of
the campus of the university. We do not have control over their
lifestyle outside the campus. Moreover, the school has rules and
regulations guiding every student here.
“If any of them breaks
it, we will punish him/her once he/she comes back to school. But beyond
this, parents should watch their children and encourage them to live in
hostels on the campus. It will make them to be more serious and
dedicated to their studies.”
It had been reported that four
students, Ugochukwu Kingsley, Richard, Aka Uche and Onyinyechi Okafor,
were rescued from the hostel after an alleged sex romp.
