“The staff in covenant university are raping the students. They’ll set stupid rules and if the students should break it they’ll sleep with them in exchange for their studentship,” Akinbo tweeted. “A girl is in a coma now. She did an abortion for the head of the student disciplinary council.”
“He got her pregnant and still expelled her,” he continued. “So many students there are being abused.”
Those who dared challenge the odds were expelled from school, according to the Akinbo.
