The management of the University of Ilorin (UNILORIN) has expelled its student Mathew Adeboye Balogun over alleged sexual misconduct.
In a letter published via its bulletin on Monday, the varsity management said Balogun was expelled, having been found guilty of an allegation of sexual molestation committed against vulnerable students and admission seekers into the university.
According to the expulsion letter, signed by Moses Opaleke, deputy registrar of student affairs, Balogun was invited to appear before the student disciplinary committee on October 16, 2023, which he did not honour.
The expulsion letter was, however, served to him on October 25, 2023.
Kindly recall that the social media was set agog with the report of sexual molestation by Balogun, Matthew Adeboye Matriculation number 14/250D062 (aka Plato),” the letter reads.
Subsequently, he was invited to appear before the Student Disciplinary Committee on October 16, 2023, which he did not honour.
At the second sitting of October 19, 2023, of the Student Disciplinary Committee, when he showed up, he admitted to the second charge against him for misconduct.
He admitted that he took unlawful and undue advantages of vulnerable students and admission seekers by sexually molesting them.
This is under the pretence that he could influence their results and or offer them admissions into the university, contrary to the Clauses of Students’ Information and Regulations Handbook.”
