The Vice-Chancellor of the Babcock University, Ilishan-Remo, Ogun State, Prof. Tayo Ademola, has finally spoken about the female student expelled by the school after a video in which she was having sex with a guy went viral.
The VC, on Sunday, confirmed that the boy was also a student of the institution and both had been expelled.
Although the video went viral in November, Ademola noted that they had been expelled as far back as April.
At a media briefing in Lagos, the VC said the decision to expel the girl was a painful one, saying he shed tears while signing the expulsion letter.
He said: “I signed it (the expulsion letter) with tears in my eyes, as a responsible father, I want to tell you, we are not leaving this young lady to her doom.
“The pastor called me last week, I prayed with the family, the father called me and said pray with your daughter.
“So I look forward to a time when this young lady will graduate and will be celebrated. It may not be here and I don’t know where but we are not throwing the baby away with the bath water.
“I just want to say that Babcock is based on love but love has two sides, the sides of discipline and mercy.
“We have some students who have been expelled before now that are back on campus, so, her case is not hopeless, but some conditions must be met before such could happen.”
