The management of the Federal University Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE) has suspended two students over allegations of cyberbullying the institution’s suspended Students’ Union Government (SUG) President, James Iyanuoluwa Adio.
The development was announced in a statement published on the university’s official news portal on Friday and signed by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Administration), Professor Tajudeen Opoola, who is currently serving as the Acting Vice-Chancellor.
According to the statement, the suspended students, identified as Alao Iyanuoluwa Odunayo and Olawale Abiodun Samuel, allegedly conspired to cyberbully Adio by posting details of his private affairs online after he reportedly failed to meet their financial demands.
The university said investigations into the allegations are ongoing but directed the two students to proceed on immediate suspension pending the outcome of the probe.
“The management of the Federal University Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE) has suspended two students of the institution with immediate effect for allegedly cyberbullying an embattled Students’ Union leader, James Iyanuoluwa Adio,” the statement read.
It further noted that the university remained committed to eliminating behaviours capable of tarnishing its reputation, stressing that disciplinary measures would continue to be taken against individuals found culpable.
The institution also expressed concern over what it described as actions capable of denting the image of the university and reiterated its resolve to maintain discipline within the academic community.
The latest development comes days after Adio himself was suspended alongside the Deputy Director of Student Affairs over allegations linked to extortion.
According to reports, the suspended SUG president is being investigated over his alleged indirect involvement in the illegal collection of ₦1,000 from first-year students for practical sessions. Authorities reportedly traced about ₦700,000 connected to the exercise to his personal bank account.
Following his suspension, an explicit video allegedly involving Adio surfaced online and quickly went viral across social media platforms, attracting widespread public attention and prompting intervention from the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS).
As of the time of filing this report, investigations into both the cyberbullying allegations against the two students and the extortion allegations involving Adio were still ongoing.
