According to an email sent to Legit.ng by one Jen Jibrin, the university had earlier instituted a disciplinary committee against Israel over his numerous social media posts criticising Governor Ishaku and the vice-chancellor of the university. The committee, according to Jibrin, described his social media posts as inciting and politically motivated.

He was thereafter asked to go and wait until the investigation is concluded. However, on Monday, October 30, Israel’s admission was withdrawn. He was sent a letter titled Withdrawal of Provisional Admission Offer which was signed by the university’s deputy registrar, David Fwa, was sent to Israel.
