The search trend surrounding the “FUOYE trending video” refers to a massive, rapidly unfolding scandal at the Federal University Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE).
While it initially seemed that scammers were just using the SUG President’s recent suspension as clickbait, an actual private explicit video of the suspended student leader, James Iyanuoluwa Adio, did recently surface online—and it has resulted in further disciplinary action by the university.
Here is the complete breakdown of the ongoing scandal as of late June 2026:
📹 The Blackmail and the Leaked Video
Following Adio’s suspension over allegations of financial extortion, an adult/private video allegedly featuring him began circulating widely across social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and Telegram.
According to an official statement released by FUOYE’s Acting Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Tajudeen Opoola, the video was intentionally leaked as part of a malicious blackmail scheme.
-
The Suspects: The university identified two students—Alao Iyanuoluwa Odunayo and Olawale Abiodun Samuel—as the individuals behind the leak.
-
The Motive: Management alleges that the two students attempted to extort the embattled SUG President financially. When Adio was unable to meet their financial demands, they conspired to cyberbully him by posting his private affairs and the explicit video online.
⚖️ Swift Disciplinary Action
The university management has condemned the actions of the two students, describing their conduct as cyberbullying and a deliberate attempt to dent the reputation of the institution.
As a result, both Alao Iyanuoluwa Odunayo and Olawale Abiodun Samuel have been suspended with immediate effect, pending further investigation into the blackmail and cyberbullying allegations.
🔄 The Irony of the Backstory
The entire situation has captivated Nigerian student circles because of the overlapping layers of alleged extortion:
-
First Extortion: James Adio (the SUG President) was suspended just days prior for allegedly extorting ₦1,000 from freshers for practical sessions, with ₦700,000 traced to his personal bank account.
-
Second Extortion: While facing discipline for his own financial misconduct, Adio reportedly became the victim of financial extortion and blackmail by his fellow students, leading to the leak of his private video.
⚠️ Digital Safety Warning: Because the video is trending heavily, cybercriminals are flooding social media with fake “full video” links. Many of these links do not contain the video but are instead phishing traps designed to steal your social media login credentials or download malware onto your device. Do not click on unverified links claiming to host the tape…
