The Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Kumasi has declared a former student, Francis Tutu Atuahene, “persona non grata” on its campus following reports that he has been causing disturbances within the university community.
In a general notice issued by the Office of the Registrar on March 9, 2026, university management stated that Mr. Atuahene had been moving from one hall of residence to another and around the campus allegedly creating trouble and confusion.
According to the notice, Mr. Atuahene, who previously studied at the university under student number 20782684, was dismissed from KNUST on July 21, 2025. Despite his dismissal, the university says he has continued to appear on campus, prompting management to take further action.
The university has therefore declared him “persona non grata,” effectively banning him from entering or remaining on the campus of KNUST, Kumasi
Management has also directed that anyone who encounters Mr. Atuahene should immediately report him to the KNUST Security Services or the nearest police station for his arrest.
The notice further cautioned students, groups, and affiliates against associating with the dismissed former student, warning that anyone found doing so would face disciplinary action in accordance with university statutes and the laws of the state.
The directive has been circulated to members of the university community, including hall masters, wardens, students, and security personnel, as part of efforts to maintain order and safety on campus.
