The Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) has declared two former students, Ransford Fosu-Boateng popularly known as Scammer Baby and Raphael Appiah Owusu, persona non grata on its campus.
KNUST has cited persistent unlawful conduct and threats to campus security and order as the basis for the decision.
A statement issued by the Office of the Registrar noted that Mr. Fosu-Boateng was dismissed on March 21, 2022, while Mr. Owusu’s dismissal took effect at the end of the 2023/2024 academic year.
Despite their removal, they reportedly continued to infiltrate university residential halls, engage in disruptive behaviour, harass students, and flout disciplinary regulations.
The immediate cause for this action was their alleged participation in an unlawful assembly that resulted in vandalism and damage to university property—an incident documented by the university’s CCTV surveillance system.
The duo are no longer recognized as students and are barred from accessing or loitering anywhere on campus.
“They have been declared persona non grata and are to be treated as trespassers should they be found within any part of the University community,” the statement added.
Continuing students have also been cautioned against any association with the duo, stating that any student caught aiding, abetting, or facilitating their access to university facilities would face severe disciplinary action.
