KNUST warns 5 former students; stay off campus or face legal action
The Management of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) has permanently banned five dismissed students from entering the university campus.
The decision follows what the university described as the continued involvement of the individuals in activities considered dangerous to members of the university community.
The affected students — Bernard Boadi, Francis Tutu Atuahene, John Kelvin Kane, Roland Botwe Nsiah and Felix Acquah — were dismissed from the university on July 21, 2025.
In a statement dated March 13, 2026, and signed by a Deputy Registrar at the University Relations Office, Dr Daniel Norris Bekoe, the university said the former students had continued to loiter on campus despite their dismissal.
“Despite their dismissal, they have continued to loiter on campus and disrupt the peace and orderly functioning of the University community,” the statement said.
“The University therefore wishes to inform the public, particularly members of the University community, that these persons are prohibited from entering or remaining on the KNUST campus.”
The statement explained that the directive was issued in the interest of safeguarding safety, discipline and the orderly conduct of academic and administrative activities within the university.
Management further cautioned the individuals concerned to stay away from the university premises, warning that any violation of the directive would attract appropriate legal action.
The university also assured the public of its commitment to enforcing its regulations and maintaining a safe and conducive environment for teaching, learning, research and community engagement.
