The Achievers University, Owo, Ondo State, has expelled no fewer than 15 female students for their involvement in sex video offences. This was disclosed by the Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of the Governing Council of the institution, Prof. Bode Ayorinde, at the university’s matriculation ceremony on Friday.
“We have dismissed more than 15 female students over sex video offences,” Prof. Ayorinde said, warning students against using social media for negative activities. He advised students to shun all acts that could lead to the loss of their studentship, declaring that the university has zero tolerance for indiscipline.
The Pro-Chancellor emphasized that students should use social media responsibly, saying, “You put your phone before you and you’re dancing naked, and you put Achievers University there, I will dismiss you. Use social media for positive things.”
Prof. Ayorinde also cited another case where a student was expelled for threatening to deal with Boko Haram if they came to the university. “One of them, who would have graduated, was caught threatening that if Boko Haram came to Achievers University, he would deal with them, inviting Boko Haram. We refunded his N2.3m and dismissed him,” he said.
The university has a strict policy against indiscipline, and students are advised to report any cases of wrongdoing. Prof. Ayorinde blamed some parents and guardians for indulging their children and wards in wrongdoing, asking them to constantly remind them of the need to be serious.
The Acting Vice-Chancellor of the university, Prof. Amos Aremu, emphasized the importance of quality assurance, discipline, and academic integrity. He said the institution’s management is committed to maintaining a safe and conducive learning environment.
The university has a zero-tolerance policy for offences such as fighting, alcohol consumption, and sexual molestation, which attract expulsion as punishment. Students are also advised against bullying and other forms of misconduct.
In 2025, the institution’s management dismissed 17 students for involvement in fraudulent acts to obtain examination clearance when they had not paid their school fees. Three students were also expelled for dealing in hard drugs.
The university’s management is committed to maintaining a safe and conducive learning environment, and students are advised to report any cases of wrongdoing. The matriculation ceremony was attended by 936 students, who took the matriculation oath and were welcomed to the university community.
