Akahi News (www.akahinews.org) reports that Tansian University, Umunya, a faith-based tertiary institution in Anambra State, has broken its silence over a disturbing video circulating on social media. The clip allegedly shows a priest — said to be a member of the institution’s management — being beaten and stripped by female students after he was purportedly caught in a sexual act with a female student on campus. Akahi News gathered that the incident has sparked outrage across Nigeria, with many asking: what truly happened inside that hostel?
The video, which has since gone viral, was filmed at the university’s campus in Oba, Idemili South Local Government Area. Unverified reports claimed the man was caught red-handed with a female student in a hostel. But the management of Tansian University has now come forward with a firm denial. It was alleged that the priest was part of the school’s leadership, though authorities insist the story is a dangerous fabrication.
Management Fires Back: ‘No Truth in This Rumour’
In a statement signed by the Public Relations Officer of the university, Barr Boniface Amalu, the institution declared that nothing of such nature occurred within or outside the university premises. “The management of Tansian University, Umunya, Anambra state categorically refute, deny and condemn the allegation of sexual harassment leveled against a priest associated with our esteemed institution,” Amalu said.
Akahi News learnt that the university has already reported the matter to the police for a full-scale investigation. “The university states without any hesitation, that no such incident as alleged took place within/outside the university premises between the said priest and any female student,” the PRO added. One cannot help but wonder: if the video is fake, who orchestrated it? And why target a faith-based institution?

Detractors at Work? University Blames Enemies of Progress
The institution went a step further, suggesting that the entire saga is the handiwork of its detractors. According to the management, certain individuals are bent on lowering the hard-earned reputation of Tansian University. But is that a plausible explanation, or merely a convenient defence? Nigerians on social media are deeply divided. Some argue that no one would concoct such a humiliating video without evidence. Others insist that faith-based universities deserve the benefit of the doubt.
What is not in dispute is the gravity of the accusation. Being a faith-based university, Tansian management assured students, parents, guardians, stakeholders in education and the general public that it can never condone such behaviour. The matter has been duly reported to the police for full investigation. Akahi News had earlier reported that similar incidents in other institutions often end with conflicting narratives — leaving the public more confused than enlightened.
What Really Happened in Oba? The Questions Remain
For now, the priest at the centre of the storm has not publicly spoken. The female student allegedly involved has also not come forward. And the viral video continues to trend, with thousands of Nigerians sharing and commenting. Some ask: why would female students beat and strip a man unless they witnessed something truly abhorrent? Others counter: why would the university go to the police if it had something to hide?
Akahi News (www.akahinews.org) believes that until the police conclude their investigation, justice must be allowed to run its course. But one thing is clear — in this era of smartphones and instant outrage, a single video can destroy a lifetime of reputation. Whether this video is truth or malice, only time and diligent investigation will tell. For the common Nigerian parent sending a child to a faith-based university, this incident is a stark reminder: trust is precious, and scandal travels faster than light.
