LASU Responds to Viral Campus Prank Video

Lagos State University (LASU) has reacted to a video circulating online under the title Bandits Prank on Lasuites. The clip, posted by Datreez Entertainment TV on Friday, 5 December 2025, shows people dressed in a way that caused fear as they moved into the campus with objects that looked like gear. Many students were alarmed, leading to concern across the community. The University Management has now shared a clear statement to guide students and the public.

LASU's Position on the Viral Video

The University noted that it never gave any form of clearance for the recording or posting of the video. Datreez Entertainment TV entered the campus without approval, which made the action unauthorised. The management added that such content can upset students and disrupt calm on campus.
