Damilola Ajayi, a student of Covenant University, Otta, Ogun State has provoked a firestorm on social media when it emerged on Wednesday that she faked her own kidnap only to travel to Ibadan in Oyo State to see her boyfriend.
Friends of the student tweeted on March 9 that she went missing and may have been kidnapped.
It later emerged that she found in Ibadan at her boyfriend’s place whom she met on social media.
According to reports, Dami claimed she was raped by her boyfriend, Mark Kotun, a graphic designer who was also involved in her search.
Social media users have been peeved at her for putting everyone in a state of panic when she allegedly went missing.
#LagosToIbadan, a hashtag created for Dami’s story has remained a top trend on Wednesday with many expressing disgust over the issue.
Others believed she risked being expelled from the University for bringing the school to disrepute.
In September last year, Emmanuel Adooh, a 500-level student sued the university for wrongful expulsion over allegations that he sexually molested a female student in the school.
He alleged that students of the school pay staff to indulge in sexual acts and that many female students play truancy in order to get out of the school to romp with men.
