KNUST bars five former students from campus
14th March 2026
The management of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) has permanently barred five former students from entering the university campus, citing concerns that their continued presence threatens the safety and stability of the institution.
The affected individuals are Bernard Boadi, Francis Tutu Atuahene, John Kelvin Kane, Roland Botwe Nsiah, and Felix Acquah.
According to the university, the five were dismissed in 2025 but have allegedly continued to frequent the campus despite their expulsion, engaging in activities that disrupt the orderly functioning of the university community.
In a statement issued by the University Relations Office and signed by Deputy Registrar Daniel Norris Bekoe on March 13, management announced that the former students are no longer permitted to enter or remain anywhere within the university’s premises.
“The individuals are hereby prohibited from entering or remaining on the KNUST campus,” the statement said.
The university explained that the directive was introduced to protect students, staff and visitors while safeguarding discipline and the smooth running of academic and administrative activities.
Management also issued a strong warning to the affected individuals, stating that any attempt to defy the directive would result in legal action.
KNUST emphasised that it remains committed to strictly enforcing its regulations to ensure a secure and peaceful environment that supports teaching, learning, research and community engagement within the university community.
