Federal University Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE) Students' Union Government President, James Iyanuoluwa Adio, is at the centre of fresh controversy. Reports emerged on Wednesday night of an alleged sex video involving him circulating on social media platforms.
The video, reportedly recorded by a female companion who is also a student of the institution, has drawn significant attention online. Claims suggest the woman who made the recording has been arrested this night, though official confirmation remains pending from authorities.
This latest incident follows closely on the heels of Adio's suspension. University management placed him on a two-month suspension alongside two senior officials over alleged extortion of students.
According to a statement from FUOYE Registrar Mufutau Ibrahim, the suspension stems from an unauthorised N1,000 levy collected from 100-level students. Adio was allegedly linked to the handling of part of the funds, including a transfer of N700,000 to his account.
The university described the actions as contrary to its anti-corruption drive. Investigations into the extortion matter are ongoing.
Social media reactions have been swift and varied. Many students and observers expressed disappointment, citing the timing after his recent election as SUG President from the Department of Computer Science.
Some posts on X highlighted the irony of the situation. Others called for accountability from student leaders. A few users shared memes and commentary, reflecting mixed sentiments across platforms.
Adio has not issued a public statement on the video allegations as of the time of this report. University authorities are yet to comment officially on the new development.
The case has amplified discussions on leadership standards within student unions. Critics argue it underscores the need for greater integrity among representatives.
Supporters of Adio, however, urge caution against premature judgment. They note that full facts surrounding both the suspension and the video should be awaited.
FUOYE management has maintained a firm stance on transparency. The institution continues its broader efforts to curb extortion and misconduct on campus.
As the story develops, stakeholders await further details from law enforcement and the university. The incident highlights ongoing challenges in student governance and personal conduct expectations.
