The
leadership of the Osun State University has disengaged an erring
lecturer for serially taking s*xual advantage of female students.
Dr. Olabode Ojoniyi
Dr. Olabode Ojoniyi who has accused of s*xually harassing female
students and having a carnal knowledge of several others has been shown
the exit door by the school authorities after prior investigation.
It would be recalled that the accused has since claimed innocence
about the allegations levelled against him with hard evidences with his
spouse throwing support bebhind him.
According to the Punch, Governing Council of the Osun State
University, Osogbo, terminated the appointment of Dr. Olabode Ojoniyi of
the Department of Languages and Linguistics, Ikire Campus after it was
proven beyond reasonable doubts that he had an amorous relationship with a female student named Mercy Ikwue.
A correspondent gathered on Sunday that the Governing Council
headed by Mallam Yusuf Ali SAN, sacked the lecturer, who appeared nude
on a bed in a hotel room and caressing Miss Ikwue.
A member of the Governing Council confirmed the sacking of Ojoniyi to a correspondent in Osogbo on Sunday.
He said, “The Council met last week and the report of the panel that investigated Ojoniyi’s amorous affair with the female student was deliberated upon. His appointment was terminated because that is the penalty stated in the Code of Conduct of Staff of Osun State University.”
Apart from the member of the Governing Council, three other lecturers including two professors confirmed to a correspondent that Ojoniyi had been sacked.
Part II articles 15 and 23 of the Code of Conduct for Staff and Students of UNIOSUN read, “ An academic staff shall not conduct himself/ herself in relation to students in such a manner that derogates from his status as a lecturer, examiner and adviser. Specifically, sexual harassment of students by (members of) staff is totally forbidden. Any (member of) staff found guilty of sexual harassment shall be dismissed from the service of the university and may be handed over to relevant state authority for prosecution.
“An academic (member of) staff shall not demand from students any gratification whether in cash or in kind including sexual gratification in the discharge of his/her lawful duties. Breach of this code shall warrant appropriate sanction ranging from warning to termination of appointment depending on the gravity of the offence.”
Ojoniyi’s s*x act was captured in a video which is believed to have been surreptitiously recorded by the female student.
The female student was said to have been pressurised by Ojoniyi for s*x and she eventually agreed and followed him to their agreed place with a laptop computer from which she pretended to be watching a movie, Things Fall Apart. Unknown to him, Miss Ikwue was actually recording their s*xual activities.
