0

A wave of controversy has swept through the Sigma Club, following the expulsion of several members, including former University of Ibadan Students’ Union (UISU) Speaker, Omotunde Olamide.

According to a statement released by the club on Monday, five members were expelled. Two subsequent announcements on Wednesday revealed the expulsion of Omotunde Olamide and another member, Oziegbe Kehinde.

However, Omotunde Olamide has disputed the expulsion, claiming that he resigned from the club. In a post on X, he stated, “For the sake of posterity and for the avoidance of all doubts, I would like that this decision to leave the Sigma Club, UI, be made public. The decision is personal and has been carefully thought out. I hope it is respected by all.”

Another expelled member, Ogbonna Prince, who previously served as the club’s chief scribe, expressed his dissatisfaction with the expulsion. He made a series of now deleted posts on X where he decried his expulsion and condemned the approach of the club’s chief, Olalekan Michael, OMA.

Although his initial posts have been deleted, he later shared an apology letter addressed to the University’s Security Unit, “Abefele.”  “Having been summoned by the Campus Security for my recent post on X regarding clarification of what transpired between Olalekan Micheal Ajibola and I, an order was made that I make peace…..”, he wrote in the letter.

In the letter, Ogbonna Prince stated that he was summoned by the Campus Security regarding his posts on X and was ordered to make peace. 

The controversy surrounding the expulsions has raised questions about the internal workings of the Sigma Club and the circumstances surrounding the expulsions.
