By Correspondent in Ilorin.

The management of Kwara State Polytechnic has reaffirmed its ban on the controversial “sign-out” ritual while strengthening collaboration with the Nigeria Police Force to tackle cultism, land encroachment, and student-related violence.

According to it,this is in a decisive move to improve campus safety and curb criminal activities I the institution.

The institution’s Rector, Engr. Dr. Abdul Jimoh Mohammed, made the disclosure during a courtesy visit to the Kwara State Commissioner of Police, CP Adekimi Ojo, at the Police Command Headquarters in Ilorin in a report available to The Reporters in Lokoja on Friday.

“We are committed to nurturing responsible citizens, not harbouring criminals. The support of the Nigeria Police has been instrumental in addressing threats such as land encroachment and cult activities. We’re here to reinforce that collaboration,”the Rector declared

Dr. Abdul strongly condemned the so-called “sign-out” celebration,a post-examination activity often marked by noise, vandalism, and suspected cult activity,describing it as a serious security threat.

He disclosed that the ritual was officially banned since the 2022/2023 academic session, and warned that students caught participating on campus will face disciplinary actions, while those caught off-campus will bear legal consequences.

“The practice invites hoodlums, disturbs public peace, and jeopardizes the safety of students and staff. We cannot tolerate it,” he stated, urging continued police vigilance in and around the institution.

In his response, the Commissioner of Police in Kwara state, CP Adekimi Ojo, applauded the Polytechnic’s proactive measures and pledged the Command’s ongoing support.

“Creating a crime-free learning environment is a shared responsibility,.We welcome this kind of institutional engagement and remain ready to support efforts that deter criminal behavior and promote safety,”he noted.

CP Ojo also encouraged other tertiary institutions across the state to adopt similar preventive strategies, emphasizing that collaboration between academic institutions and law enforcement is key to combating campus-related crime.
