Babcock dismisses alleged sex scandal against VC candidate, threatens legal action
Babcock University has dismissed reports alleging a sex scandal involving one of its vice-chancellor candidates, describing the publication as false and malicious.
The institution has also threatened legal action against those it accused of attempting to tarnish its image.
Reacting to an online publication dated September 12, 2025, which claimed that a group called the Apostles Seventh-Day Adventist Advocacy Group opposed the candidacy of Professor (Pastor) Afolarin Olutunde Ojewole on grounds of alleged sexual misconduct, the university said neither it nor its proprietors, the Seventh-Day Adventist Church, recognized the group or its supposed coordinator, Elder Samson Fasasi.
In a statement, the university’s Director of Marketing and Communications, Dr. Joshua Suleiman, described the allegations as “baseless, fabricated, mischievous, and malicious.”
“As far as the university is concerned, these names and individuals are fictitious and discredited self-seekers masquerading under an unregistered outfit. It is disappointing that a platform that calls itself a media house would associate with such faceless miscreants,” Suleiman said.
