Olebogeng Kenosi, a first year student pursuing Bachelor’s Degree in Business Management was suspended on April 25 and subsequently, Izwaligo Akuje a third year student undertaking Bachelor of Business Administration and Tourism was suspended on April 28 following violent protests which led to closure of the university. The students were charged and brought before a disciplinary committee where they were each found guilty as charged and suspended.

The disciplinary committee made a recommendation that Kenosi be de-registered from the University until the end of the semester. This, according to him meant suspension for two months. The VC imposed a one-year suspension and ordered that Kenosi compensate the University for stolen property instead. As for Akuje, the committee recommended a final oral warning. However, the VC imposed a one-year suspension.
