The Lagos State Police Command has begun a full investigation into a viral video allegedly showing students of Excel College, Ejigbo, engaging in smoking, drinking, and partying inside the boys’ hostel. The disturbing footage, which reportedly surfaced online in September 2025, quickly sparked outrage among parents, guardians, and the general public.
Police Step In: SCID Takes Over Case
Although the incident is believed to have occurred back in April 2025, the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Panti, has now taken over the case. According to reports, preliminary investigations had already started at the Ejigbo Police Division before the Commissioner of Police, CP Olohundare Jimoh, ordered the SCID to assume control for a more thorough inquiry.
Police sources confirmed that the school principal and proprietor were invited for questioning. During interrogation, the principal revealed that the students seen in the video had already graduated. However, he assured investigators that the school management would cooperate fully to uncover the truth.
Public Outrage Over the Viral Footage
The release of the video has generated massive reactions across social media, with many Nigerians condemning the moral decay among students and questioning the role of schools and parents in shaping discipline.
Parents, educationists, and child advocates have expressed deep concern that such behavior could thrive within a learning institution. Many are calling for stricter supervision in both schools and homes to prevent such incidents in the future.

The Lagos Police Command reassured residents that it remained committed to upholding law and order in the state. The incident, they said, is a reminder of the need for collective responsibility among teachers, parents, and security agencies to protect the moral foundation of schools and communities.

The Excel College viral video scandal has once again highlighted the challenges of youth discipline in Nigeria. While the police investigation continues, the case serves as a wake-up call for society to double down on moral education, parental guidance, and responsible school management.
