Redeemers University allegedly expel a final year student for a Facebook post

Debo Adedayo, a final year student of the Redeemers University has accused the institution for unjustly expelling him for a Facebook post of his.

In several post on Instagram, he described how he was made to face a panel for the social media post which he insists could not have been about the university.

“In all my posts, I never mentioned the name of the University nor the name of any of her official. Yet on the 12th of this month, I received a letter of Expulsion for this supposed reason. I have been patient enough with the management of the University. That I wasn’t given the joy to graduate on that day I waited patiently for broke my heart

“That I wasn’t given the joy to graduate on that day I waited patiently for broke my heart. Yet, I was willing to let that go out of love for my University. Now look what I have been greeted with. I am trying to understand the reasons behind this action by the mgt of the University.

“Could it be because for the first time in history, my administration refused to give the Vice-Chancellor and Director of Student affairs awards on our student’s appreciation day as we reached the conclusion that they didn’t deserve it?

“Or could it be because my administration fought passionately for students rights; food, water, light scarcity? Could it be because I stood for the rights of students when they were falsely accused of defrauding the University…the list is endless as I am still trying to help the University find a reason for her action.

 I can go on and on, but I would simply rest my case for now as my parents have decided to take legal action against the management of the University. I am bringing this to your attention because of the concern you have all shown and also so that everyone I have advertised Redeemer’s University to can see how exactly I am being paid back for my dedication. You haven’t heard the last of this. Thank you. P.S: all comments or opinions shared on my page in no way represent my position about the University or anyone in it. Please be advised.”

In the offending Facebook post, Adedayo had slated an unnamed ‘Daddy’ for being a hypocrite and says he’s not mentioning names but ‘if the shoe fits wear it’

The university in the expulsion letter says such post has brought the university into disrepute.

‘The above is unbecoming of a product of the University where degrees are awarded based on character and learning. By the rules and regulations guiding students conduct in Redeemer’s University, the act constitutes serious misconduct which is punishable by expulsion’
