Dr Abiola Akinyode-Afolabi, the defence counsel for Miss Monica Osagie, the alleged victim in the sex-for-marks scandal at Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, said on Tuesday that her client affirmed before an investigative panel that Prof. Richard Akindele deliberately failed her because she refused his sexual demand.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Osagie had appeared before the committee set up by the institution’s authorities in company with her counsel.

Osagie, a postgraduate student in the Masters of Business programme, had released a recorded telephone conversation, which went viral, in which the lecturer identified as Akindele, allegedly demanded sex for marks.

The committee, which held its session at the Pro -Chancellor’s Lodge on the campus, allowed only Osagie and her counsel into the venue.

Journalists, students and some members of the National Human Right Commission who came to witness the sitting were not allowed into the venue by security personnel of the institution who manned the entrance.

Akinyode-Afolabi, who spoke with newsmen after the closed door session which lasted for more than seven hours, said Osagie told the panel that she passed the course but was later failed by the don because of her refusal to sleep with him.

She said that Osagie narrated in details what transpired between her and the don, adding that lawyers present at the meeting were not allowed to make any contribution.

Akinyode-Afolabi , who is the Executive Director for Human Advocate Research and Documentation Centre, Abuja, said that Osagie also informed the panel that she recorded the conversation between her and the professor as evidence.

She said Osagie also informed the panel that she reported the sexual harassment by the don to some lecturers in the university, adding that no action was taken by them.

Akinyode-Afolabi said some lawyers who represented the lecturers who Osagie claimed she reported the case to also appeared before the panel.

She said that Osagie also told the panel that she did not score 33 per cent as alleged but was failed so that she could bow to the sexual demand of the don.

Akinyode-Afolabi said she was optimistic that the outcome of the panel would serve as a lesson to other lecturers who also engage in such acts.

She, however, urged the panel to ensure that justice prevailed on the issue so as to maintain the integrity of the institution.

Akinyode-Afolabi, who did not allow Osagie to talk to newsmen, said her client would always be available to give evidence whenever she was called upon.

Members of the panel did not also speak with newsmen after the meeting.

NAN recalls that a recorded audio conversation of the don demanding sex to increase the marks of the female postgraduate student had gone viral.

The audio recording had generated reactions from a cross-section of the public until the university authorities reacted.

NAN also recalls that the vice chancellor on Friday confirmed the suspension of Akindele.

GeneralOjukwu:
From the 2 audio clips, I can bet my 3rd testicle that she actually failed the course.

She should tread carefully.... YES she failed, YES Mr Lecturer requested for 5 rounds...THAT is a strong case already.

If the scripts are re-marked and she truly failed, her credibility would be damaged. If I was the lecturer, I would even ask them to dig up her undergrad scripts if she graduated from OAU

People like you....Nigeria can never get better, because of.

They should end this episode already, it's becoming boring

Only you failed,
Only you still doesn't want to give oga kpomo.

Now you think blackmailing him will make you pass.
My sister you are on a very long thing.

Your advisers have led you astray.
There's no how that old man would have gone longer than 4minutes and you would have gotten your cool A.

Now see your life.

Yes she failed, but it was wrong for the lecturer to ask for 5 rounds of sex, he implicated himself and she used it against him, he should be sacked asap

In private universities, this can never happen and even if it does, he will be sacked immediately no time, you cannot dash marks when senate is there to cross-check, funny thing is that when these lecturers come to private universities, they behave themselves, lol

Only God can help this man.

Well actually it does happen in naija UNI they will purposely fail students so that they can come to negotiate

Interesting.

Why?

Do you want your daughter to be a victim in the future?

Let her watch her back!

OAU Lecturers and Professors can be very vindictive.

They will punish the DON, but I will advise the young lady to leave the school after the investigation.

The might make sure she gets bad grades that will demoralize her.

shame on you and whatever institution you passed out from. that she didnt do well in undergraduate programs means she will not do well in every other program she runs.

she has nothing to lose as its the lecturer who has everything including his retirement gratuity, family name and children image to protect.

the young girl can move abroad and continue her life unscathed

Am not interested in this news

Sack the lecturer even if she failed or not
