Court Allows Student Activists to Resume Classes at UI
On September 14, 2026, a Federal High Court in Ibadan struck out an application filed by the University of Ibadan's Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Kayode Adebowale, which sought to prevent three student activists—Ayodele Aduwo, Mide Gbadegesin, and Linus Adaoma—from attending classes while an appeal regarding their disciplinary sanctions was pending. The students were initially sanctioned after protesting against fee hikes on May 13, 2024, and received various penalties, including four-semester suspensions for Aduwo and Gbadegesin.
Justice N. E.
Maha had previously quashed these sanctions on April 15, 2026, ordering their reinstatement. The university's appeal led to the recent application for a stay of execution, which the court dismissed, stating there was nothing left to stay as the students had resumed classes.
CAPPA, which supported the students legally, welcomed the court's decision and urged the university to cease its perceived persecution of the students.
