The Lagos State University (LASU)
has sacked three of its senior lecturers over alleged s3xual misconduct.
In a statement on Tuesday,
Ademola Adekoya, the university’s spokesperson, said their dismissal was
approved by the governing council of the university at its 119th statutory
meeting on October 4.
The affected lecturers were
identified as Ayoola Odubunmi, an associate professor of economics; Isiaka
Ogunwande, an associate professor of chemistry and Emmanuel Gbeleyi, a lecturer
in the department of anatomy.
Adekoya said the lecturers were
queried after which a disciplinary committee constituted to look into the
allegation passed its final findings to the governing council.
One of the victims was said have
contacted a non-governmental organisation (NGO) to wade into the matter after
one of the associate professors had made repeated overtures at her.
The NGO had planted a hidden
camera on the lady who proceeded to meet the lecturer in his office on a
Saturday after he invited her to rewrite a particular course she failed.
The lecturer was allegedly caught
on camera molesting the female student while he gave her the examination paper
to keep writing. The university security officials who were on standby were
said to have swooped on them and arrested the randy lecturer.
Gbeleyi, on his part, was
reported by two female students who he asked to buy an injection, which he was
accused to have used to sedate them before having sex with them.
In June, the management of
Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) in Osun state had fired Richard Akindele, a
lecturer who allegedly demanded five sessions of sex from Monica Osagie, a postgraduate student of the institution, to
award her a pass mark in a course she failed.
