In a disturbing development that’s stirred public outrage, Babcock University, Ilishan-Remo, Ogun State, has expelled a student, Oladipupo Siwajuola, over what it describes as a chain of grievous misconducts — including drug peddling, impersonation, and the use of fetish materials linked to suspected ‘Yahoo Yahoo Plus’ activities. This follows his controversial disappearance in late April and the online firestorm triggered by his mother’s viral accusations.
The scandal began in early May 2025 when Siwajuola’s mother took to social media, accusing the university of negligence and failure to protect her son. Her claims sparked outrage and concern nationwide, prompting calls for a thorough investigation into campus security and student welfare.
But in a sharp counterstatement released on Wednesday, signed by Dr. Joshua Suleiman, Director of Marketing and Communication, Babcock University painted a dramatically different picture — one of intentional deceit and criminal behaviour.
According to the university, Siwajuola had secretly slipped off campus on April 28, 2025, fully disguised in a hoodie, exiting through the teaching hospital gate without authorisation. This, the university insists, was no accident or security lapse — but a calculated move to cover up a deeper web of troubling activities.
Upon being returned to campus by his father on May 15, Siwajuola reportedly made a full confession to the university’s Security Services Department and the Disciplinary Committee. Among the most damning revelations:
- He admitted to purchasing a fetish “black soap” from a traditional herbalist for ₦100,000 — contradicting his mother’s earlier claim that it was for treating a skin condition.
- He confessed the soap was part of a “Yahoo Yahoo Plus” ritual — a form of internet fraud blended with fetishism, believed to enhance illicit wealth attraction.
- Siwajuola also admitted to drug peddling, gambling with a ₦500,000 loan from an online app, impersonating another student to open a bank account, and selling his own phone under false pretences — claiming his father approved the sale.
Even more, the university challenged the mother’s version of events. Contrary to her claim that her son was rescued by secondary school friends, Babcock stated that it was the mother of a friend he was hiding with in Lagos who discovered him and alerted his family after becoming aware of the viral controversy.
Following internal investigations, the institution found Siwajuola guilty of several offences including unauthorised campus exit, use of fetish materials, drug peddling, impersonation, dishonesty, and unauthorised disposal of personal property.
Babcock University has now officially dismissed Siwajuola in line with its disciplinary code and global best practices. While expressing sympathy for the emotional toll on the family, the institution stated firmly that its primary duty remains safeguarding the moral and physical wellbeing of its students.
In a notable gesture, the university acknowledged the father’s cooperation and responsible conduct, stating that it would not pursue a libel case over the mother’s social media outburst — despite describing her accusations as “sensational, misleading, and unfounded.”
As the dust settles, the incident leaves behind troubling questions: how deep does the problem of ‘Yahoo Yahoo Plus’ and student criminality run — and who should really be held accountable?🔄 Story developing. Updates to follow.
