Reedemer’s University expels student union leader, Debo Adedayo over post on social media

A student of the Redeemer’s University, Debo Adedayo, aka ‘Mr macaroni’ was expelled by the school’s management a few weeks to his graduation for criticising the school in a post on social media.

In a Facebook post, Debo Adedayo without calling names insinuated that the VC was a hypocrite, who paraded himself as an upright person and had zero impact except for hatred, bitterness, and negativity yet paraded themselves as most righteous.

The University after investigations expelled Adedayo for not portraying the school in a good light. The act, according to the institution is punishable by expulsion going the principles guiding students’ conduct in the University, the letter read.

The University wrote, “It has been established through the findings of the students’ investigation and disciplinary that you recently posted certain messages on some social media platforms which are offensive and portrayed the Redeemer’s University and some of the officials in bad light.”

See the letter from RUN and Debo Adedayo’s several posts on social media:

(CONTD) 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 students 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.

Reedemer's University says I put the University and some of her officials in bad light on social media. Please swipe along with me: Picture 1 is me presenting the Vice President @profosinbajo with a gift on behalf of the University. In the picture is deputy-governor of Osun state and the Vice-Chancellor of the University. Picture 2 is me showing Reedemer's University to the world with the Minister of communication, Barrister Adebayo Shittu. Picture 3 reminds me of a funny story as It was a real struggle to meet and present @speakerdogara with this token on behalf of my dear Reedemer's University. This was at a conference of student union presidents with the speaker and I tried to announce how great my University is. This is me representing my University in the presence of @raufaregbesola This is me fully branded in the attire of Redeemer's University after a courtesy visit to the Orangun of Oke Ila to seek support for my University. This is a picture of one of our many visits to secondary schools to promote Redeemer's University. There are many more. The list is endless. Yet the University claims that the reason for my expulsion is because of a post that neither carries the name of the University nor anyone in it. Oh well……….
