Le@k3d Video Leads to Expulsion of Two Edo University Students

Le@k3d Video Leads to Expulsion of Two Edo University Students.

Authorities at Edo State University have expelled two students following the spread of a video that many found disturbing. The clip, which made the rounds on social media earlier this week, allegedly showed the students involved in an unusual act right inside one of the school’s lecture halls.

The footage quickly drew sharp reactions from other students and members of the public. Many wondered how such behaviour could happen in a place meant for learning. Some called on the school to act fast, while others expressed disappointment over what they saw as a decline in discipline among young people.

University officials did not waste time. According to sources close to the administration, the school launched an internal inquiry as soon as the video came to their attention. In an official statement, Edo State University said the two students broke the institution’s code of conduct. It added that their actions brought the university’s name into disrepute.

The school also reaffirmed its commitment to keeping the campus environment safe, orderly, and morally sound. While the statement did not go into every detail of what happened inside the lecture hall, it made it clear that the management would not tolerate any form of misconduct that threatens academic decorum.

This case is not new in Nigeria’s university system. Over the last few years, there have been several reports of students facing suspension or outright expulsion after videos of their behaviour leaked online. In some instances, the clips were recorded inside classrooms, while others happened in hostels or open spaces on campus.

For example, a few universities in the past have handed down severe penalties to students caught on camera doing things considered shameful or disruptive. In most of those cases, the videos went viral before school authorities even got wind of them. That pattern has forced many institutions to become quicker with their responses.

Social media has changed the game. What used to stay hidden can now reach thousands of people within hours. That kind of exposure leaves schools with little room to look the other way. Once a video starts circulating, the pressure to act mounts quickly—from parents, alumni, and the general public.

Education watchers say expelling students is one thing, but preventing future incidents is another. They argue that many young people entering the university may not fully understand where to draw the line when it comes to behaviour in public spaces.

The video is trending on Telegram and other social media.

One education expert who spoke on condition of anonymity said, “You cannot just punish and move on. The school also needs to ask itself what it is doing to help students understand basic conduct rules. Orientation should not be a one-day event. It needs to be repeated and taken seriously.”

Others have called for value-based programmes and regular seminars on ethics and personal responsibility. They believe that while discipline has its place, schools should also work to build a culture where students naturally avoid actions that could bring shame to themselves or their institutions.

For now, Edo State University has made its position clear. The two students are no longer part of the school. Whether this case will push other universities to strengthen their own conduct rules remains to be seen. But one thing is certain: in an age where smartphones are everywhere, no one’s actions inside a lecture hall are completely private anymore.
