Update On OAU Sex Scandal by Adedove(m): 10:09am On Apr 20, 2018 |
The authorities of the Obafemi
Awolowo University, Ile-Ife
Thursday said Monica Osagie
was the student involved in a
sex-for-marks scandal, that has
sorely questioned the morality
of university dons, in the
training of young Nigerians.
Prof. Eyitope Ogunbodede, the
Vice Chancellor of Obafemi
Awolowo University (OAU), said
Monica Osetobe Osagie was
studying for a Masters in
Business Administration.
He also announced the
suspension of Prof. Richard
Akindele, the don involved in
the salacious scandal.

Ogunbodede’s action followed
the submission of the interim
report of the committee set up
to investigate the allegation of
sexual harassment revealed in
audio recording.
The News Agency of Nigeria
(NAN) reports that a recorded
audio conversation of the don
demanding for sex to increase
the marks of a female
undergraduate had gone viral.
“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 said that
though the investigative
committee invited both
Akindele and Osagie, only
Akindele appeared before the
committee.
“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,’’ he said.
Explaining why the lecturer
was yet to be sacked, the Vice
Chancellor said that the
provisions of the relevant
statute of the university must
be followed.
“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;
“Also 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 I. Akindele is
on the basis of the findings of
the Investigative Committee
that he is prima facie liable.
“This decision will abide,
pending the final
determination of the case by
the council of the University”,
the vice chancellor said.
Ogunbodede said that the
university would continue to
do everything legally and
morally acceptable in
pursuance of its avowed
commitment to zero tolerance
for sexual harassment,
intimidation and, or coercion. |
