Babcock University, Ilisan Remo, Ogun State, has explained why a student, Oladipupo Siwajuola was expelled from the institution.
It alleged that the student left the school and went in search of fetish products to enhance Yayoo Yahoo Plus activity.
Oladipupo was previously reported as “missing” by his mother.
She had then accused the university of negligence and complicity.
But contrary details later emerged, showing that the student went on his own voyage.
The school management in a statement signed by the Director of Marketing and Communication, Joshua Suleima, said after thorough investigation, Oladipupo was found guilty of severe infractions, ranging from impersonation, drug peddling, and engaging in occult practices commonly associated with internet fraud rituals, locally referred to as “Yahoo Yahoo Plus.”
The institution further stated that on May 28, 2025, he sneaked out of school, disguised himself in a hoodie, and left through the university's teaching hospital gate without the required authorisation, in contrast to his mother's allegations that he was kidnapped and subsequently "found" by his secondary school friends.
The university said “Oladipupo admitted to purchasing and using fetish substances from a traditional herbalist for nearly N100,000, contradicting his mother’s claims that she gave him the black soap for a skin condition.
“Peddling illicit drugs on campus, for which he was apprehended by university security before his disappearance.
“Impersonating another student by using their National Identification Number (NIN) to open a bank account.
“Selling his phone without permission and lying that his father had approved the transaction. Borrowing N500,000 from an online loan platform to fund gambling ventures”, the statement added.
According to the institution, Oladipupo's dismissal was decided in accordance with its disciplinary policy, which aims to maintain a safe and ethical learning environment.
