The management of the Alex Ekwueme University in Ebonyi State has placed Felix Okemini, a former security aide to Governor Francis Nwifuru, on indefinite suspension due to alleged involvement in cult-related activities during his recent matriculation.
Governor Nwifuru recently sacked Okemini for serious misconduct.
The suspension notice, dated March 20, has been shared widely on social media and indicates that the suspension will remain in effect while an investigation into the cultism allegations is conducted.
“The vice-chancellor has considered the report on the allegation of cult-related behaviour levelled against you based on the display of cultism as shown on March 14, 2025, during the matriculation ceremony of the university,” the letter read.
“Consequently, the vice-chancellor, on behalf of the Senate, has directed that you be suspended indefinitely from the university pending the outcome of the investigation of this matter by the Students’ Disciplinary Committee of the university. You are, by this letter, hereby suspended from the university.”
Meanwhile, the suspended Senator representing Kogi Central in the Senate, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, has insisted that her suspension is a direct consequence of her accusations of sexual harassment against Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
Speaking during an interview with Sky News on Wednesday, the embattled lawmaker alleged that Akpabio told her she had to “please him” to enjoy her privileges as a Senator.
Natasha said that her suspension was a calculated attempt to silence her and challenged the National Assembly to provide evidence of the misconduct they claimed she was suspended for.
