Babcock University has come under
attack over the expulsion of a female student caught having s.e.x in a video that
has since gone viral.
Babcock
University announced on Wednesday that it has expelled the young lady in the
viral s3x video.
The school, however, maintained
that the act did not take place on its premises.
Babcock University, in a
statement by its Director of Communication and Marketing, Joshua Suleiman, said
that the video was recorded in April 2019 when the young man, who had earlier
been expelled in February, was undergoing rehabilitation at a health facility.
The varsity revealed that the
lady in the video was a 300-Level student of accounting at the time the video
was recorded but had been expelled since the video leaked in April.
The expulsion of the lady has
since stirred reactions from Nigerians on social media.
Some queried the decision of the
institution in expelling the lady after Babcock admitted that the act did not
take place at the school premises.
Here are some comments gathered from Twitter:
@OgbeniDipo “If I was VC, Dean of
Student Affairs or part of the committee that looked into the Babcock students
case, I would not recommend expulsion.If you want to destroy your own life,
Nigerian institutions will no even blink. No second chances. Fiam, off you go.
And they will wave you good bye.”
@Kandiekikugan “But hold on, the
action didn’t take place on the school’s premises? Why expel her? I don’t get!
Is the university an endorsement brand or a school they learn in? As an adult
her actions outside the school shouldn’t be the school’s concern.”
@Nedunaija “First, while your
media release is devoid of any grammatical error, its composition is lacking
the elegance that is expected of statements from a tertiary
institution.Secondly, I consider the expulsion on the young lady in the video
quite extreme.”
@Poshyeal “This is wrong and
should be challenged, an offence committed outside the school environment
cannot attract a punishment.
“This is wrong and should be
reversed.The school authority should have used the opportunity to council the
students and make them better ambassadors.”
@Oluniyigates “Wait they didn’t
even have sex in school? Babcock might as well expel all its students because at
least 90% of them are having sex at home.”
@Emmanyrah “I’m not understanding
anymore, they never had sex in the school environment, these were adult who
just did what ever adult does.”
@Sunbrezzy “Babcock thought your
institution was ahead but no I don’t see any reasons for you to expel someone
that you need to counsel more.A suspension would have been a good option.”
@Niqqa_teebex “Absolutely wrong
move to expel the girl. If you’re really committed to nurturing students of
distinct and excellent character, expelling them wouldn’t achieve that. You
don’t cut the head to cure headache. Even Mr Joshua Suleiman who signed this
dey knack. Hypocrites everywhere.”
@Tomtomspirit “We just condemn
and claim to be christians. Is there any investigation on going to track the
source of the leaked video? Who leaked it, was it the boy himself? What is the
physiological state of the girl in question.Are there provisions for this
devastating actions?
@Thatsgotti “There should be a
way she can appeal this but the stigmatization alone is enough punishment. I
understand you are trying to set a standard as an educational institution but
the incident happened outside. Many of ur adult students indulge in sex too
they just don’t record it.”
