Daily Trust learnt that Professor Akindele appeared before the panel but the female student involved in the matter failed to show up. Professor Akindele became the talk of the town when the recording of a conversation between him and a female student in which he was demanding for five sessions of sex in return for pushing up the student's grade emerged. Daily Trust learnt from a reliable source that the report of the panel was not in favour of the professor and that the committee has submitted it's reports to the management of the university. The source said "the committee set up by the management of OAU to investigate Professor Akindele sex scandal has submitted its report. The committee indicted him and recommended him for immediate suspension. That is the preliminary findings anyway. The committee still want to meet the student that was involved.

Please OP stop peddling rumors
How can the committee submit a report without the girl who accused the prof showing up?
The Uni cannot conclude based on hearsay it's irrational
The girl should show up and put the prof away for ever else many girls will suffer more from him
She made a grave error releasing that recording to the public without thinking it through

Lay the latest on me

Monica Osetobe Osagie, who was named earlier today by the Obafemi Awolowo University, as the the female voice in the viral Sex-For-Mark tape has denied being invited by the Committee set up by the Obafemi Awolowo University. In a telephone conversation with an online medium, Osetobe, said she was never contacted by the school officials. According to her, “The management didn’t contact me. If they did, i would have honour them”. Recall the Obafemi Awolowo University had on Thursday morning, released statement claiming, the female voice owner of the Sex-For-Mark conversation has been identified, as Monica Osetobe, who was contacted, but failed to show up. The Vice-Chancellor of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, has received and considered the interim report of the Committee set up to investigate the allegation of sexual harassment revealed in a leaked audio recording. In the interim report submitted to the Vice Chancellor, Professor Eyitope Ogunbodede, Professor Richard I. Akindele, of the Department of Management and Accounting, is now established to be the lecturer in the controversial “marks for sex” audio recording. The female voice has also been identified as that of Miss Monica Osetobe OSAGIE, a Postgraduate Student on the Master of Business Administration Regular programme. Although the Investigative Committee had invited both Professor Richard I. Akindele and Miss Osagie, only Professor Akindele had appeared before the Committee, while Miss Osagie is yet to appear or make any representation. The report indicated that many other witnesses appeared before the Committee and gave useful evidence. The University is making efforts to ensure that Miss Osagie appears before the investigative committee so that it can hear her side of the case and promptly submit its final report. The Committee observed that a prima facie case of inappropriate relationship with the female student had been established against Professor Richard I. Akindele. The Vice- Chancellor, having carefully and dispassionately considered the report, also came to the conclusion that a prima facie case of serious misconduct had been established. Having regard to the gravity of the offence for which Professor Richard I. Akindele is found to be prima facie liable, the Vice- Chancellor, in line with the Code of Conduct for the University Community and acting under all the laws and regulations of the University enabling him in that regard, has directed that Professor Richard I. Akindele be suspended forthwith from the University, pending the final determination of the disciplinary case against him. While Reading The Nations , I Learnt that Under the provisions of the relevant Statute of the University, an academic staff can only be dismissed from service or have his or her appointment terminated only when the matter on which consideration is being given has been investigated by a Joint Council and Senate Committee, and the staff has appeared before the committee with his or her counsel, if so desired. This procedure is the minimum requirement of the law and regulations of the University. It should therefore be noted that the suspension of Professor Richard Akindele is on the basis of the findings of the Investigative Committee that he is prima facie liable, and this decision will abide, pending the final determination of the case by the Council of the University. We will like to reiterate that OAU will continue to do everything legally and morally acceptable in pursuance of its avowed commitment to zero tolerance for sexual harassment, intimidation and, or coercion.
