    Babcock University has officially dismissed Oladipupo Siwajuola, the student previously reported as “missing” in a widely publicised social media campaign, over what it describes as a “gross violation of university rules.”

    This development comes weeks after PLATFORM TIMES first reported the mysterious disappearance of the student, prompting national concern and an outcry led by his mother, who accused the university of negligence and complicity.

    In a detailed statement released on Wednesday, June 4, 2025, and signed by Dr. Joshua Suleiman, Director of Marketing and Communication, the university disclosed that Oladipupo was expelled after a thorough investigation revealed a series of severe infractions, ranging from impersonation and drug peddling to engaging in occult practices commonly associated with internet fraud rituals, locally referred to as “Yahoo Yahoo Plus.”

    Contradictions and Confessions

    According to Babcock University, Oladipupo left the institution on April  28, 2025, disguising himself in a hoodie and exiting through the university’s teaching hospital gate without proper authorisation.

    Contrary to his mother’s earlier claims that he was abducted and later “found” by his secondary school friends, the university disclosed that Oladipupo had been staying in Lagos with a friend named Sodiq.

    The university added that his presence there, was reportedly discovered by Sodiq’s mother, who then returned him to his family after learning about the online drama surrounding his disappearance.

    Upon his return to school on May 15, accompanied by his father, Oladipupo voluntarily gave a detailed statement to the institution’s Security Services Department. The statement was later corroborated before the Disciplinary Committee.

    The university said Oladipupo admitted to purchasing and using fetish substances from a traditional herbalist for nearly ₦100,000, 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 ₦500,000 from an online loan platform to fund gambling ventures.

    … Disciplinary Action

    Following his confession and the findings of the Disciplinary Committee, Babcock University found him guilty of multiple offences, including:Unauthorised campus exit ; Possession and use of fetish materials ; Drug peddling ; Impersonation and dishonesty ; and Unauthorised sale of personal property

    The university stated that the decision to dismiss Oladipupo was made in line with its disciplinary policy, which seeks to uphold a secure and morally sound learning environment.

    He has the right to appeal the decision, as provided in the student handbook.

    … Mother’s Accusations and University’s Response

    In a twist to the saga, the university condemned what it called “malicious and unfounded” allegations made by Oladipupo’s mother, who had earlier accused the school of failing to ensure her son’s safety.

    The university said her public claims were contradicted by her son’s own admissions and suggested that she may have had prior knowledge of his dealings, including the use of fetish materials.

    However, in what appears to be a reconciliatory gesture, the university commended the “responsible conduct and integrity” of Oladipupo’s father and stated it would not pursue legal action for libel.

    … Reaffirming Its Commitment

    Babcock University reiterated its commitment to transparency, discipline, and moral integrity in handling student affairs. It called on parents and guardians to guide their children towards accountability and truth.

    “We urge the public to disregard false information and to continue partnering with us in raising a generation of young men and women who reflect courage, truth, and responsibility,” the statement concluded.
