The sex video, which was widely circulated, had been attributed to students of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, because of the proximity of the hotel to the campus.
Meanwhile, the institution had denied the involvement of its students in the act, insisting that school had not been in session, and that their students were not on campus.
