The three students of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) who were implicated in the molestation of hip-life artist, Mzbel, have been suspended from the university for one academic year.
The decision by the university authorities is part of recommendations of a committee, which investigated the incident.
According to Joy Fm?s sister station, LUV Fm?s correspondent, the three students, Alex Dapaah, Aaron Adusah-Poku and Theodore Djokoto implicated by the fact finding committee have been sent home for two semesters. (That is one year).
Organizers of the programme have also been asked to render humanitarian services to the University hospital but as to what exactly they will be doing is not known.
Reliable sources confirmed to LUV News that the three students have been suspended and the organizers punished.
According to the source, what the action means is that, the university authorities did not follow recommendations by the fact finding committee.
The committee recommended that the students implicated as having taken active part in the alleged harassment and manhandling of Hiplife female star Mzbel, be made to lose their residential status, offer humanitarian services to an orphanage for four weeks, have their photographs posted on notice boards for three weeks, be barred from standing for elections as well as be made to sign a bond to be of good behaviour had not been followed.
The committee also recommended that in pursuance to the university?s statute 57 and 61, the Vice Chancellor could take other sanctions he considers appropriate.
The source said it appears the suspension of the students and the punishing of the organizers of the programme instead is what the university authority sees as appropriate.
