03 Jun UNILAG sacks lecturers exposed in BBC’s sex-for-grade investigation
The University of Lagos (UNILAG) has dismissed Boniface Igbeneghu and Samuel Omoniyi Oladipo, two lecturers caught soliciting sex from students in exchange for grades in a 2019 investigation by the BBC.
The institution had earlier suspended Igbeneghu, who doubles as a pastor, and Oladipo following the investigation. It thereafter set up a panel to look into the allegations brought against them.
In a statement on Wednesday, UNILAG said the dismissal followed the BBC report and findings of its senate committee constituted to probe the matter.
According to the statement, the move is in line with section 18 of the University of Lagos Act 1967.
It added that the immediate sack of the lecturers was approved by the governing council of the varsity at its meeting which held on May 31.
