Babcock University Expels Student For  Diabolical Behaviour

By Adesina Soyooye 

A student of Babcock University, Ogun State, Oladipupo Siwajuola, has been expelled by the University authorities for diabolical behavior. The student was also involved in drugs and other unwholesome behavior least expected from a student or even anybody his age.

In expelling him, the school described why it took the action as the student’s  “gross violation of university rules,” including involvement in fetish practices, drug peddling, impersonation, and dishonesty. For instance, he bought from a herbalist, soap which cost was N100,000.

Siwajuola’s story started in early May 2025, when his mother alleged, through the Social that his son, who she had personally brought back to school has been unreachable for days. She held the University responsible for failing in its duty of taking of his son.

But in a statement released on Wednesday, signed by Dr Joshua Suleiman, the University ’s Director of Marketing and Communication, the University disclosef “that Siwajuola had deliberately and illegality exited the  campus on April 28, 2025, without authorisation, disguising himself in a hoodie and sneaking out through the university’s teaching hospital gate.

“His disappearance was neither accidental nor the result of negligence by the university.

“Rather, it was a deliberate act, laced with a series of misconducts that violate the Babcock University Student Handbook,” the school said.

The went on to state  that Siwajuola was returned to campus by his father on May 15, 2025, and was invited by the Security Services Department for a formal debrief.

In the student’s written statement,  corroborated before the Disciplinary Committee, he allegedly confessed to several acts of misconduct. According to the school, “Among them was the purchase of a black soap from a traditional herbalist for N100,000, which contradicted his mother’s earlier claim that she had given it to him to treat a skin condition.

“Siwajuola, admitted that the soap was intended for ritual purposes, as part of a ‘Yahoo Yahoo Plus’ scheme, a slang term for internet fraud mixed with fetish practices.

“He revealed that he was engaging in fetish practices in an attempt to get rich quick.

“He also confessed to drug peddling, borrowing N500,000 from an online loan app to fund gambling, and impersonating another student to open a bank account.”

Siwajuola also sold his personal phone and misled the buyer by claiming that his father had consented to his selling it.

In  direct opposite to his mother’s claim that her son was found by his secondary school friends, the university revealed that it was the mother of a friend, Sodiq he stayed with in Lagos, who discovered his presence in their home and alerted his family after noticing the growing online controversy.

 Babcock University stated that following investigations,  “Siwajuola was found liable for multiple offences, including unauthorised exit from campus, possession and use of fetish materials, drug peddling, impersonation and dishonesty, unauthorised sale of personal property.”

In tandem with the school’s disciplinary policies and global best practices, the university had no choice but to expel Siwajuola.

It noted: “While we recognise the emotional weight of this decision, especially for the family involved, our foremost responsibility remains the safety and moral integrity of all students entrusted to our care.

The university lamented “sensational and baseless accusations” made by the student’s mother on social media, whichbaccused the institution of complicity in her son’s disappearance.

“These claims were not only false but misleading.

However, in view of the responsible conduct shown by the student’s father, the university will not pursue a libel case at this time,” the statement explained.
