Ondo Private University Expels 15 Female Students Over Sex Videos

In a dramatic enforcement of its disciplinary code, Achievers University, Owo, Ondo State, has expelled at least fifteen female students for their involvement in sex video scandals.

The announcement was made by the institution’s Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of the Governing Council, Professor Bode Ayorinde, during the university’s matriculation ceremony where 936 new students were formally admitted.

Professor Ayorinde emphasized the university’s zero-tolerance stance on indiscipline, warning students against behaviors that could jeopardize their academic journey. He condemned the misuse of social media, noting that some students had recorded themselves dancing naked and tagged the institution’s name, acts which led to their dismissal.

He stressed that such conduct not only tarnishes the reputation of the university but also undermines the dignity of women, who he insisted are capable of ruling the world rather than being reduced to entertainment.

The Pro-Chancellor also recounted other disciplinary measures taken in recent years. In 2025, seventeen students were expelled for fraudulent acts involving examination clearance without payment of fees.

Additionally, three students were dismissed for dealing in hard drugs, while another student was expelled after making threats involving Boko Haram. He reiterated that the university would not hesitate to refund fees and dismiss any student found guilty of misconduct, including fighting, alcohol consumption, bullying, or sexual molestation.

In his remarks, Acting Vice-Chancellor Professor Amos Aremu underscored the institution’s commitment to quality assurance, discipline, and academic integrity. He reminded matriculating students that admission into the university was not merely a gateway to higher education but an invitation to embark on a journey of self-discovery, intellectual growth, and societal impact.

He described university life as a tapestry woven with challenges such as sleepless nights of study, examination pressures, and the need to balance personal development with academic pursuits. These challenges, he explained, were not punishments but preparations designed to build resilience, critical thinking, and leadership qualities.

The expulsions serve as a stern warning to students and parents alike. Professor Ayorinde urged guardians to guide their wards toward responsible behavior, stressing that indulgence in wrongdoing often stems from poor parental oversight. 

The university’s leadership made it clear that discipline, integrity, and respect for rules remain non-negotiable pillars of Achievers University’s ethos.

This incident has sparked conversations about the role of social media in student life, the responsibilities of institutions in shaping moral conduct, and the broader implications of disciplinary actions on the future of young people.

Achievers University’s firm stance illustrates the growing determination of Nigerian private universities to uphold standards and protect their reputations in an era where digital misconduct can quickly spiral into institutional crises.
