 Madonna University Expels Nursing Students Over Viral Hospital Video as NANS Appeals

Madonna University has reportedly expelled some nursing students following a viral video recorded in a hospital environment, prompting the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) to appeal for leniency.

The development has sparked discussion online after the students were reportedly sanctioned over their conduct in the video.

According to reports, the affected students are nursing students of Madonna University, and the incident occurred in a hospital setting. The circumstances surrounding the video have attracted attention because of the professional and ethical standards expected of students undergoing nursing training.

The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has now intervened in the matter.

In an appeal issued on Thursday, October 2, 2026, NANS President Akinteye Babatunde Afeez called on the university management to reconsider the expulsion of the affected students.

NANS reportedly appealed to the university to replace the expulsion with a stern warning, allowing the students to learn from the incident while continuing their education.

The intervention comes amid growing conversations about student discipline, social-media conduct and the responsibilities attached to professional healthcare training.

Why the case is attracting attention

Nursing students are trained not only in clinical procedures but also in professional conduct, ethics, confidentiality and responsible behaviour within healthcare environments.

Consequently, conduct involving social media and hospital facilities can attract disciplinary consequences where it is considered inconsistent with institutional or professional standards.

However, NANS' intervention highlights another side of the debate: whether expulsion should be the ultimate disciplinary measure for students who have committed such violations, or whether other sanctions could serve as corrective measures while allowing them to continue their education.

Names of affected students not officially disclosed

As of the time of this report, credible reports on the 2026 incident have not publicly disclosed the full names or complete number of the nursing students reportedly expelled.

Names circulating on social media should therefore be treated with caution until they are independently confirmed by Madonna University, NANS or another credible source.

The university's position on NANS' appeal and whether the disciplinary action will be reviewed remains an important development to watch.

Team Paladin will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as more verified information becomes available.
