The management of Ibadan Polytechnic has explained that a short video of half naked students in white feasting on ritual sacrifices in the school premises was part of a drama initiative by students.

The Registrar of the institution, Mrs Modupe Fawale, made the clarification in a statement in Ibadan on Saturday.

She was responding to a video circulating on social media showing students in white apparently making sacrifices and feasting what appeared to be ritual food in broad daylight on the campus.

Fawale explained that the said video was a performance by students from the Art and Design department during their 2023 departmental week

”The scene on the video is to educate, orientate and discourage the minds of the youth, especially students, not to engage in money ritual and other social vices.

“Not that the act was real within the campus as it has been rumoured.”

She, however, said that the management had called the attention of all students’ associations on the need to register and ensure that their activities are approved by the students affairs department which has the mandate to monitor the kind of programmes that could be allowed on campus.

“The students union should also through their platforms sensitize students’ associations and clubs to project the good image of the institution,” Fawale said.
