       OAU Reportedly Sacked Professor Involved in Sex for Mark Scandal
       By: Eda Date: June 20, 2018, 4:37 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       The Vice Chancellor of OAU, Prof. Eyitope Ogunbodede, announced
       Akindele’s dismissal in a statement on Wednesday in Ile-Ife.
       Ogunbodede had, on April 19, confirmed Akindele’s suspension
       pending the findings of the investigative panel.
       A student undergoing the Masters of Business programme, Miss
       Monica Osagie, had released a recorded telephone conversation,
       which went viral, in which the lecturer, identified as Akindele,
       demanded five rounds of sex to enhance Monica’s marks.
       Ogunbodede said that the University Senate at its meeting on
       June 14 considered the committee’s findings that Akindele had
       inappropriate relationship with his student.
       He said 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.
       The vice chancellor said Akindele had acted in a manner that
       compromised his position as a teacher and examiner, in that his
       conversations with Monica Osagie were about examination scores
       and inducement of favour for the alteration of examination
       scores.
       Ogunbodede said: “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.
       “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.
       “Professor Akindele’s actions in requesting 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.
       “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.
       “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.
       “Professor Akindele was liable for all the allegations of
       misconduct levelled against him.’’
       The vice chancellor said the Senate recommended that 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.
