For an institution that prides itself in keeping its
students on a morally straight path, a leaked sex tape involving its
students was the last thing Uganda Christian University (UCU) needed.
But not only did the tape leak, it went viral.
However, where one would have expected the
university based on Christian values to either suspend or expel the
students involved, the administration has apologised for their
involvement in the video.
The said sex video involves two male students from UCU and a female from Makerere University Business School.
According to a local tabloid, the video was shot in a bathroom at Carleton Hostel, Buguju near the university.
Part of a press statement by the director of
students’ affairs at UCU, the Rev Milton Tweheyo, reads: “We regret that
our students were involved in a sex tape that was released on social
media and whose resulting story was published in The Red Pepper newspaper among other media.”
The Rev Tweheyo said the behaviour of the students had brought UCU into disrepute.
However, the university administration indicated that “the circulating stories are not accurate”.
They clarified: “Contrary to reports in most
media, the video was not filmed at the hostel where the students
currently reside; it was filmed more than a year ago at a location
outside Mukono.”
The Rev Tweheyo added: “Therefore, the two students involved will face the student disciplinary committee.”
