The suspension follows a protest staged by students, including Aduwo, on May 13, 2024, during a Students’ Union event. The students were later arrested by the university’s security unit and summoned before the Students’ Disciplinary Committee on July 2, 2024.

According to an internal memorandum signed by S. O. Oyewumi, Deputy Registrar (Students), the case involves allegations of misconduct bordering on “insubordination/unruly behaviour” for obstructing the inauguration event of the 2023/2024 Students’ Union executives.
