There is anger at the Nyankpala campus of the University of Development (UDS) after the Student’s Representative Council (SRC) is accused of organising a sex party on campus to welcome freshers.
The said sex party was held last Friday, according to the organisers, but the confusion emerged days later after some obscene photographs of the alleged event were posted on social media.
The photographs, posted by angry users who claimed they were students of the university and attended the event, show participants in compromised scenes. Some said the whole party was turned into “sex party” and alleged they saw others having sex in the crowd while people were dancing.
Starr News visited the institution and the allegation against the SRC was already a talking point among students, and has drawn a growing anger from a lot of ministries on the campus, who are blasting the SRC for “failed” leadership.
The Deeper Life Campus Fellowship, one of such angry religious bodies, has condemned the event as “not good” and “unacceptable”.
A senior member of the Fellowship, Charlies Atonive, said the SRC which organized the event did not consult the religious bodies on campus.
It is not clear exactly what happened during the event and whether students were really caught having sex in the crowd but the rising anger provides broader scenario of how serious the students have taken the subject.
The Deeper Life Fellowship preached against the misconducts displayed on the photographs by the students, calling it “evil” and saying it breaches the school’s principles guiding students conduct on campus.
President of the Students’ Representative Council- NYC, Alhassan Abukari Sadiq Kilwa described the allegations as ‘surprising’ and said what happened last Friday was just an annual party for students to refresh themselves.
“The programme is called ‘JoJ’, does that sound like a sex party to you”, the president asked Starr News in his opening response to the accusations.
“This was something that was organized for students to rep in their various team jerseys but we wanted to get a costume for it, so we say ‘have a jersey on top of a jeans. So basically, the JoJ talks about the costume of the party. Tamale campus, our sister campus, had their ‘All Black’ party and we had ours, so JoJ does not stand for sex party”.
When asked to comment on the leaked pictures and how the students conducted themselves therein, Sadiq responded by saying: “As young people we make mistakes and we learn from our mistakes. The pictures shown to me talk about people fun”.
The council also pushed back suggestions that it failed to ensure discipline during the event, insisting the event was a success and downplayed the calls by the campus ministries for a probe against it leadership.
The Public Relations Office of the school was not available to comment on the matter. Several requests to the spokesperson, Madam Sawda, went unanswered.
