You finished primary school, took common entrance, finished secondary school, took JAMB, took WAEC, finished University, continued and earned a masters degree and probably doctorate degree, applied for a job, went through the interview process before finally gaining employment as a professor. You went through several years of school, numerous exams and interviews just to land your dream job and probably your only source of income and then you lose all of that because of lust. How will you explain the cause of your termination to your wife, kids, church members and neighbors? For a 10 minute ok maybe 15 minute something, you lost what you've built over the past 30 plus years. Sad.

May konji never me the reason why I lose all i've worked for

Same here bro

Thanks for the enlightenment, but I think it can at least pass for prostitution.

I doubt though, because there was no agreement between both parties, what the ‘cost’ will be. For a prostitution charge to stick, it is not necessary that the actual to take place, but two things must be established viz:

1. An offer must be made, and it must be accepted by the other party.
2. The offer must be in exchange for a sexual act.

In the audio, the Professor made an offer, but the lady turned it down.

See where his dick landed him.

See where his dick landed him.

FedericGodwin:
I'm happy the shameless Prof who allowed his sense to relocate from his brain to his joystick has been publicly disgraced, shamed and dismissed.
He would have taught other colleagues with such mentality to always be of good behavior and conduct They should see their students as children and friends they are meant to mentor for future purposes and not sex objects.
To say he is a pastor reveals that not everyone called pastor is actually a follower of Christ. How could a man born of a woman subject a woman to such conditions before she could be passed. Only God can forgive your sins against humanity.
A lot of his students who have succumbed to this demand will be rejoicing and at the same time depressed because they won't forget such inhumane act
He should go and get his entitlements from 3 rounds of sex with a dog nearby having risen from assistance lecturer to professor.
What a way to end one's career when you see yourself as a mini god over those you're employed to shape and sharpen their future.
His likes see female students as nothing but rags who can't reject their sexual demand.

Lesson learnt in a very hard and disgraceful way.
Next please

Pastor is just a title and not a way of life

He will always get another job.

MrTeeo:
He would serve as a deterrent to other sexual offenders. Suggest he be prosecuted also

Everyday we have been seeing Police arresting Arm robbers, did it stop the rest from operating??

This lecturers will never stop

I hope and wish that he is here on nairaland to read the responses here: I just hope he would not go and commit suicide too.

Of the greatest Ife!!!

God don't let act of indiscipline destroys my life and career

Howmon:
How a single act of indiscipline can rubbish decades of hard work, determination and sacrifice. I pray our unhealthy habits don’t give us such ending.

First degree to masters to PhD to professor all trashed by a single event that was recorded of less than 10minutes convo

Means he lied his way through all those qualification because he learnt nothing

Now police need to wade in and prosecute him.

oh girl ,this is good enough for the man, but you may never graduate in that school

it's about time.
I knew this would be an easy one to crack.
Well done OAU disciplinary committee.

The professor should go and open a hotel and hire prostitutes...atleast he is now free to enjoy himself without hindrance.

MrTeeo:
He would serve as a deterrent to other sexual offenders. Suggest he be prosecuted also

my school unical will never do this. OAU keep up the good work..

Sexual harrassment is like one of the benefits of being a unical lecturer. They can harass even married woman and go untouched it's only when they meet the wrong person thats when you will hear a lecturer is dead.. it's sickening..

SalamRushdie:

Habits are hard to part with

Good riddance

kernel507:



Up OAU! I've never trusted a Nigerian university, but today, they've (OAU) earn my respect.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,impressive and calls for celebration.
what about the one at unilag ?let us restore salinity and santity to our higher places of learning

It is right thing at the right time.

He should also write an undertaken that no harm will befall this lady all her life. Because if this man should be allowed to have a return leg the lady will never end her sorry story. Legal Actions ...

namet:
Sacking the lecturer is not enough. Rape is a felony and perpetrators should be prosecuted and sent to jail.

This sacking is the first step and shows culpability. The Police should now arrest and charge to court the lecturer involved for rape.

Facts and evidence used by the school to arrive at their decision should then be gathered by the Police and presented to the Judge in which case, a guilty verdict for rape would be attained.

This is the only way we can sanitize our schools off these sexual predators.

use another word instead f rape. i don't know how rape correlates with this case.

good verdict. although kasala don burst finally for gals wey de pass exams only with their body . lecturers will thread more carefully these days

CSTR1003:

It is good.

Girls should start reading. I have never seen a high flying female student in that kind of situation before.

It is always the dull ones looking to cut corners.

Let the ladies sit down and read , and they should now be aware that their vaginas would no longer be relevant to save them from the consequences of laziness.

He failed her on purpose. The investigation revealed. I had said it before that he could have failed her on purpose and when her script was asked for, it turned out that I was right.

All because he wanted to sleep with her, he failed her. And to imagine that he referred to himself as a shepherd (a pastor). Someone like him must have slept with a lot of wives in the church. It is simply shameful.

PRESS RELEASE


COUNCIL DECISION ON THE AUDIO CONVERSATION BETWEEN PROFESSOR RICHARD AKINDELE AND MS MONICA OSAGIE

Around the 7th of April, 2018 or thereabout, there was an audio conversation between a man and a lady which was sensationally trending on social media because of its explicit sexual tone. After thorough investigation, it was discovered that the said audio conversation was between a lecturer and a student of our University (OAU) who were later identified to be Professor Richard Akindele and Ms Monica Osagie.

To save the image of the University and to unravel the circumstances that surrounded the whole saga, the University Management set up a committee and mandated it to submit its report within a week. Furthermore, the Management issued a query to Professor Richard Akindele to explain his role after which he was suspended pending the final determination of the case in line with the University regulations.

Although the committee invited the two persons involved, only Professor Akindele could be initially reached and invited. This necessitated the submission of an interim report. However, when the committee eventually succeeded in inviting Ms Monica Osagie, and finally concluded its sittings, it then submitted its final report to the Management.

To disabuse the minds of the general public on the issue of an alleged cover-up, the Vice-Chancellor, on two occasions, issued press releases that were personally signed by him. The press releases were maximally published by virtually all the media houses and aired by Radio and Television Stations across the globe.

Last Thursday, 14th June, 2018, the University Senate considered the Committee’s Findings that:

(1) Professor Akindele had an inappropriate relationship with his student Miss Osagie. This was established through their conversation in the audio recording; his reply to the query; the oral evidence; and the printed ‘WhatsApp conversations’ tendered before the Committee.

(2) He had acted in a manner that is seen to have compromised his position as a teacher and examiner, in that, his conversations with Miss Osagie were about examination scores and inducement of favour for the alteration of examination scores.

(3) He offered to change Miss Osagie’s purported “33%” result to a pass mark in consideration for sexual favours, this was established in the audio recording which he admitted.

(4) His claim that Miss Osagie knew that she had passed with a score of ‘45’ but was seeking to score an ‘A’ and that this led to him being sexually harassed by Miss Osagie cannot be supported by any evidence.

(5) Professor Akindele’s actions in requesting for sexual favours from Miss Osagie to change her examination scores was scandalous behaviour that has brought ridicule to the name of the University and has tarnished the reputation of the University, as it portrays the University as an institution where its teachers and examiners trade marks for sexual favours.

(6) From the evidence, Miss Osagie had no idea that she scored ‘45’, a pass mark as later claimed by Professor Akindele, although she later found out she did not fail the course.

(7) Professor Akindele’s claim that he reported Miss Osagie’s ‘harassment’ to his colleagues cannot be supported by any evidence as all his colleagues denied it and one mentioned that she only talked about the matter with him after the audio recording was released over the internet.

( Professor Akindele operated in a position of power and authority over Miss Osagie and as such sexually harassed her.

(9) Professor Akindele was liable for all the allegations of misconduct levelled against him.

Accordingly, the Senate recommended that Professor Richard Akindele, having been found liable on all the allegations against him, should be dismissed from the services of the University.

The Council, at its meeting of today, Wednesday, 20th of June, 2018, having considered the recommendation of Senate, as well as the report of the Joint Committee of Council and Senate, decided that Professor Richard I. Akindele should be dismissed from the services of the University for gross misconduct.

The University has also taken further steps to ensure the total elimination of Sexual Harassment (SH) in the OAU Community. The University has a legal duty to prevent sexual and gender-based harassment within the institution and ensure that both men and women are protected from this menace; and thereby provide conducive environment for teaching and learning. To achieve this, the university:

(a) is creating more awareness and disseminating information on what constitutes Sexual Harassment (SH) within the university, and noting the veracity of SH concepts which include – sexual solicitation and advances, sex exploitation, prostitution, seduction, pimping, sexual assault, unwanted touching, vulgar sexual jokes, rape among others. These concepts are well specified in the University Sexual Harassment Policy approved by the University Council in 2013;

(b) has put in place a strategic implementation framework for the SH Policy which will ensure effective/rapid redress mechanisms to incidents of SH. The SH Policy clearly states mechanisms for reporting and for dealing with SH cases through the committee system. This would be made more functional;

(c) will continuously educate staff and students about their right to seek redress in cases of SH;

(d) has uploaded, on its website, the Sexual Harassment Policy, under the administrative blog, while copies are being given to students at matriculations, and when staff are newly recruited;

(e) intends to add ‘Zero Tolerance to Sexual Harassment’ as part of its core values, and openly display this on bill boards.

A whistle-blower policy is also being developed by the University.

OAU is fully committed to the eradication of sexual and other types of harassment from our tertiary institutions and will do all that is possible to nip this menace in the bud. OAU has zero tolerance for Sexual Harassment and as a renowned University will do everything humanly possible to maintain the rules and regulations of the University.
