The management of the Federal University Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE) has suspended two students with immediate effect over allegations of cyberbullying the institution’s suspended Students’ Union Government (SUG) President, James Iyanuoluwa Adio.
The suspension was announced in a statement published on the university’s official news portal on Friday and attributed to the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Administration), Prof. Tajudeen Opoola, who is currently serving as the Acting Vice-Chancellor.
The affected students, Alao Iyanuoluwa Odunayo and Olawale Abiodun Samuel, were accused of conspiring to cyberbully Adio by allegedly posting details of his private affairs online after he failed to meet their financial demands.
According to the university management, the actions of the students amounted to misconduct capable of bringing the institution into disrepute.
The statement noted that investigations into the allegations were still ongoing but directed the students to proceed on suspension pending the outcome of the probe.
The management reiterated its commitment to maintaining discipline and safeguarding the institution’s reputation, stressing that it would not tolerate any behaviour capable of tarnishing the university’s image.
The development comes days after Adio himself was suspended by the university alongside the Deputy Director of Students’ Affairs over allegations of extortion.
Adio was accused of indirect involvement in the unlawful collection of ₦1,000 from newly admitted students for practical sessions, with authorities claiming that about ₦700,000 linked to the exercise was traced to his personal bank account.
Following his suspension, an explicit video allegedly involving the student leader surfaced online and circulated widely on social media, attracting reactions from members of the public and prompting the intervention of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS).
