OYE-EKITI, Ekiti State, Nigeria — June 17, 2026 — The management of the Federal University Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE) has suspended two students over allegations of cyberbullying and the circulation of private materials involving the suspended Students’ Union Government (SUG) President, James Iyanuoluwa Adio.
The university announced the disciplinary action on Tuesday, June 17, 2026, as part of measures to address alleged misconduct and protect the reputation of the institution.
The suspended students were identified as Alao Iyanuoluwa Odunayo and Olawale Abiodun Samuel. They were accused of allegedly posting private content relating to Adio online after a dispute reportedly linked to financial demands.
The university management described the alleged actions as unacceptable and said such conduct could damage the image of FUOYE.
In a statement signed by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Administration), Prof. Tajudeen Opoola, who is serving as Acting Vice-Chancellor, the institution condemned the alleged behaviour and ordered the students to immediately proceed on suspension pending the outcome of an investigation.
The university stated that it would not tolerate actions capable of undermining the dignity, safety, and reputation of members of the university community.
The development followed a wider controversy involving the FUOYE Students’ Union leadership. Earlier on June 17, 2026, the university also announced the suspension of the SUG President, James Iyanuoluwa Adio, and other officials over separate allegations relating to unauthorised collection of money from students.
FUOYE management said all individuals connected to the various allegations would be given an opportunity to respond while investigations continue.
The institution reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining discipline and ensuring that students comply with university rules, particularly regarding the responsible use of digital platforms.
Cases involving cyberbullying, online harassment, and the sharing of private content have become increasing concerns among educational institutions, prompting universities to strengthen disciplinary measures and digital conduct policies.
The university urged students to avoid using social media platforms for intimidation, harassment, or actions that violate the privacy and rights of others.
FUOYE management said further decisions would be taken based on the outcome of the ongoing investigations.
