Covenant University to Recall 120 Expelled Students
After so many criticisms and appeals on the expulsion of over 120 students from Covenant University, Ota, Ogun State for not attending a university assembly, the Management of the institution led by Bishop David Oyedepo has agreed to reduce their punishment to 4 weeks suspension.
DailyPost gathered that several groups including parents, lawyers and National Human Rights Commission are part of those that appealed to the management of the school for a rethink on the judgement slammed on the students.
Sources say the students are expected to resume back to school later this month or early February.
It would be recalled that the Bishop, David Oyedepo privately owned university is known for its strict rules and discipline, and expelled the student last year for not attending an assembly.

In the first place I don’t know how you can force someone to be a Christian. If God can’t do it, you don’t have the ability to do it. If He who is the creator of man is standing and knocking hoping the door will be open, who are you to force yourself in? It is with love that close doors to the gospel can be open. If you force people to Church, you may succeed because the people are afraid of being victimized, especially when they are your subjects, but I will tell you what you get as result – “A bunch of dressed up devils filling our pew every Sunday. I wonder if that is what Oyedepo wants? I know as a leader, you want people to see that you are succeeding when everybody is following you, it is okay, but a leader must lead rather by example not by force. If they see Christ in you, they will come willingly and if they are yet to come, there is only one thing left, pray that they come and willingly too. That is when you are sure, somebody is on the way to being saved. Jesus said, “John 6:37, “All that the Father giveth Me shall come to Me: and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out”. Rules are necessary but when it comes to saving the soul, LOVE must be the ULTIMATE. Praise The Lord!
