ONE WAS CAUGHT RED-HANDED! Lagos State University sacks two professor, others for sexual harassment

The Governing Council of the Lagos State University has approved the dismissal of three lecturers for sexual harassment and misconduct.

The council took the decision at its 119th statutory Meeting held on Thursday, 4 October 2018, as recommended by the Joint Council/Senate (Academic) Disciplinary Committee.

Those dismissed are Dr. Odubunmi Ayoola Sunkanmi, Associate Professor, Department of Economics; Dr. Ogunwande Isiaka Ajani, Associate Professor, Department of Chemistry and Dr. Gbeleyi Emmanuel Orilade, Lecturer II, Department of Anatomy, Lagos State University College of Medicine (LASUCOM), Ikeja, Lagos.

It was gathered that the two other lecturers, whose offences were not disclosed, escaped sack as council directed the university management to issue him warning letter and the fifth lecturers got an advisory letter.

Dr. Odubunmi, was arrested by LASU security operatives with the help of a nongovernmental organisation. His arrest took place three days to his professorial interview.

Odubunmi was said to have invited a female student to his office, on Saturday, to rewrite an examination, locked the door and began to romance her before the bubble burst.

Unknown to Dr. Odubunmi, the female student was fitted with a secret camera and was monitored by the non-governmental organisation and LASU security operatives in another office close to his.

According to a source, the student, who was disturbed by the persistent pressure from the lecturer, had approached the NGO to seek intervention.

The NGO was said to have notified the university management, which in turn promised to ‘play along’ towards catching the lecturer red-handed.

The same allegation applied to Dr. Ogunwande. For Dr. Gbeleyi, he was alleged to have injected female students, sedated them in the laboratory before having sexual intercourse with them.

The acting Coordinator, Center for Information Press and Public Relations (CIPPR), Mr. Adeola Adekoyam confirmed that the Governing Council has approved the dismissal of the three lecturers at its meeting on Thursday.

Adekoya, who could not give details of the decisions by the Prof. Adebayo Ninalowo-led Governing Council, said that his department was expecting the decision extract of the meeting.

His words:

“Yes, the Governing Council took the decision on Thursday. The council division is yet to furnish my office with details. I don’t have an idea whether it is sack, dismissal or termination of appointment.”

On the three ASUU LASU exco case, Adekoya said the case is still on-going, adding “it is not a case they (committee) have to hurry about. Maybe in the next quarter, the council will meet on their case”.

Nice!

Corrupt lecturers will sit-up, while students who believe in bribery will be serious.
