Emmanuel Adooh is suing Covenant University for expelling him and falsely accusing him of sleeping with female students.
The 500-level student of the university, in a lengthy post shared on social media, said the school authorities expelled him wrongly and hung a sex allegation on his neck.
According to him, he was invited two times to face a disciplinary committee over what he termed trumped up charges. He said after wasting seven hours of his time the previous day, he was invited the second time to face two witnesses whom he was alleged to have slept with.
The first witness, Marilyn Effanga denied knowing Adooh and did not have any sex with him. But, according to Addoh, the second witness, one Omotayo Dada, admitted to having sex with him multiple times.
Addoh said Dada was incentivized by the disciplinary committee to implicate him.
He said the whole drama was centred around a purported WhatsApp group chat in which some lewd conversations were found. But Adooh denied belonging to the WhatsApp group.
He said he became suicidal after the expulsion and accused the school staff of sexual immorality.
Adooh said some staff of the university takes bribes as little as N2,000 from students and allow them to have sex escapades in the school.
“I got back to my room that day and cried, and destroyed almost everything around me.
“I went to my window and looked down and asked myself which is better? Jumping down or slitting my wrist? I wanted to commit suicide and I was furious. I hurt myself so many times,” he said.
According to him, Dada has since apologized and told him that the school authority asked her to implicate him so she could escape the harsh punishment because she was notorious for having sex with multiple partners.
Covenant University is an elite university and is owned Bishop Oyedepo’s, Winners Chapel.
