Ondo varsity expels 15 students for sex videos, misconduct

The management of Achievers University, Owo in Ondo State, has expelled no fewer than 15 students for sex video offences.

The Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of Achievers University, Prof. Bode Ayorinde, disclosed this during the university’s 19th matriculation ceremony for 936 newly admitted students on Friday, January 30, 2026.

Ayorinde warned students against the misuse of social media, describing it as a menace capable of destroying destinies if handled irresponsibly.

“You put your phone before you, dance naked, and tag Achievers University, I will dismiss you. Use social media for positive things,” he said.

Ayorinde cited a case involving a final-year student expelled for making comments perceived as inviting Boko Haram to the university.

“He was almost graduating but threatened that if Boko Haram came, he would deal with them. We refunded his N2.3 million and dismissed him,” he said.

He urged students to use their fees wisely, warning against drugs, sex videos, and other vices incompatible with academic excellence.

“We have dismissed more than 15 female students for sex video offences. If you want to rule the world, you won’t engage in such acts,” he said.

Ayorinde added that Achievers University has zero tolerance for bullying, stressing that all students are equal before the institution.

“If you are caught bullying anyone here, you are gone. It cannot happen in this university,” he said.

He disclosed that in 2025 alone, 17 students were dismissed for fraudulent examination clearance without paying school fees.

The pro-chancellor also said students found dealing in or abusing drugs would be expelled without hesitation.

He narrated how three students were expelled for dealing in hard drugs, urging others to report such activities promptly.

Ayorinde blamed some parents and guardians for indulging wrongdoing, advising them to consistently remind wards to remain focused and disciplined.

In his remarks, the Acting Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Amos Aremu, said Achievers University prioritised discipline, quality assurance, and academic integrity.

Aremu assured students that the university would provide a safe, nurturing, and intellectually stimulating environment for holistic development.
