A University of Ibadan alumnus, Mr. Kayode Bello
popularly called ‘Kay Bello’ has been expelled from the Nigerian
Law School.
Until the time of his expulsion, Kayode Bello has been a student
of the Nigerian Law School, Abuja campus.
The University of Ibadan graduate, who recently concluded the
compulsory court attachment programme of the Nigerian Law School
has been shown the way out of the Bar programme after a series of
face off and encounter between him and the management of the
institution The
Page Reports.
It should be noted that the final Bar examination for this year
comes up on August 15, 2017.
According to one of his colleagues, who spoke under the
condition of anonymity, trouble had started for Kay Bello in Law
School when he wrote a petition against the management of the
Nigeria Law School over what he alleged as poor social welfare
conditions.
It was stated that Kay Bello printed fliers and sort to mobilise
his colleagues at the Abuja campus of Law school to stand against
the management and demand for a better living condition in terms of
conducive classrooms and hostel facilities to justify the expensive
fees they had paid for the school.
However, It was gathered that after Kay Bello wrote the petition
and submitted, the leadership of the Students’ Representatives
Council of the Nigerian Law School in a letter to the management
disowned him, stating that he was acting solely on his “own
volition” and not representing the students’ interest.
We later learnt that he was queried and told to withdraw his
petition but Kay Bello refused.

After the conclusion of the court attachment programme, THE PAGE
was informed that there was a summary trial but he failed to show
up.
In a Phone Call with Online Newspaper THEPAGE, Kay Bello
confirmed the expulsion from the Nigerian Law School programme and
added that he is currently working on getting a bigger platform to
protest his expulsion.
According to him, “It is in connection with the petition. They
want me to beg but you know that I will never beg.”
Meanwhile, the management has published a poster containing his
expulsion information and pasted around the law school campus.
Another colleague speaking revealed that when Kay Bello was
expelled, he refused to leave and was still using the school’s
library when security officials had to bundled him out of the
institution.
Recall that he was earlier rusticated from the University of
Ibadan on April 13, 2010 following his involvement in a protest
over hike in school fees in 2008.
