Noble Eyisi
Some members of the Student Union Executive Body, increasingly uncomfortable with the way things were going, passed a Vote of No Confidence on Mr Noble Eyisi, after bringing a 5-count charge against him.
According to Comr. Noble, amidst this crisis, the Vice-Chancellor ordered for his removal. And on the 18th of May 2015,he was impeached.
Prior to his eventual impeachment, Mr Noble and his friends faced persecution from the school authorities, from the seizure of his official vehicle to the arrest of his friends and threats directed at his person, which strengthened his belief that his impeachment was allegedly instigated by the Vice-Chancellor himself.
Him and the students went on peaceful protest, to register their displeasure towards what they believe was an unconstitutional impeachment. Mr Noble also went to the court to contest his impeachment .
On 11th of June , while he was headed for his political science department for lectures , Noble was arrested by a man believed to be the security aide to the Vice Chancellor of the university , bundled into a University security Van and taken to the State Security Headquaters of Anambra State Located at Amawbia, where he was issued his suspension letter by the Director.

This year , July 2019 , he graduated with a first class. What a Typical story of making Lemon from Lemonade !
