The school management took the disciplinary action at the backdrop of growing concerns over sex for marks, cultism involving some lecturers amd students and other misconducts rocking the school in recent times.

Insiders sources hinted that female students are complaining of sexual harassment by lecturers for good grades, even as cultism on the campus has been a source of concern as some lecturers allegedly got involved.
