Ontario Tech University has filed a lawsuit against YouTube channel @FiqueAyub, which is led by content creator Fique Ayub, for unjust enrichment associated with prank videos filmed on the university’s campus. Two videos, which were recorded in 2024 and 2025, featured Ayub disrupting lectures on campus. The university is reportedly pursuing a claim for $50K in punitive damages and an award based on the income associated with the videos, alleging that profits were earned through the unauthorized trespass and use of Ontario Tech’s property. The National Post reports that in his statement of defence, Ayub claimed that the university “manufactured its own losses” in waiting to address the posts and asserted that his channel is not operated for profit. Ayub has since been barred from entering the university’s campus.
