Ebonyi State University, EBSU Lecturer Suspended For Using Sex & Money To Pass Female Students
September 12, 2017 – Ebonyi State University, EBSU Lecturer Suspended For Sleeping With Female Students & Demanding Money To Grade Students
The management of Ebonyi State University has suspended a randy lecturer identified as Onwe Chinedu Ogah for alleged sexual harassment and extortion.
The students yesterday decried the alleged high rate of sexual harassment and extortion by lecturers.
Ogah is facing a disciplinary committee for alleged sexual harassment and extortion.
Our investigation showed that students allegedly paid between N10,000 and N30,000 to pass a particular course, or had sex with lecturers if they could not pay.
A victim, Chinenye Chike, alleged that she had carry-over because she failed to pay the N10,000 demanded by the lecturer or sleep with him.
Another victim, Sylvia Ibiam, alleged that after paying the money, the lecturer insisted she must sleep with him, and she refused.
“The lecturer punished me by hiding my project.”
The Vice Chancellor, Prof. Francis Idike, confirmed that sexual harassment and extortion were rampant in the institution.
He said: “A lecturer is on suspension. How can you sack somebody without going through stages? The disciplinary committee has completed its assignment and submitted it to the vice chancellor. I am studying the matter, after which I will send it to the management.
“I don’t have the total figure of such cases, but I know there are many of them. In fact, there was one we decided last week, based on sex for grade. A female lecturer was sacked. It happened in the Faculty of Education. Just last week, the council took a final decision on the recommendation of the committee.”

The matter must be investigated and with expect witness and if the lecturer is guilty he must justice for defiling girl students.
The best thing is to revoke his degree.

this is the result of the present state of stench that encapsulates our educational system in this country…I see for just no reason someone in his right senses should extort and inflict unnecessary pain on innocent students all in the name of passing exams…its so absurd…well for me a severe punishment should be meted out to lecturers perpetuating this kind of crime to humanity so as to deter others from following suit….

Suspension alone is not enough. Jail these bastard lecturers to 15 years in prison. This is a case of indirect rape very common in Nigerian universities. When you hear stories of females studying in Nigerian universities and the type of harassment they go through in the hands of lecturers and cult members you will pity them. This is one of the reasons why many of the graduates don’t get a job after graduation because they don’t know anything. The lecturers write the thesis or even do the exam for them in his house after having sex with them. It is unfortunate. Nigeria used to be one of the most respected countries of the world when it comes to education; but, no more and thanks to the military and those empty who want the rest of the country to wait until they catch up before we can move ahead. That is why they did everything possible to destroy education and health system in the country. What a shame.

Oga lecturer, is that how you obtained your degree? You lecturers are part of nation’s destroyer. What knowledge are you imparting on these students when you already gave them free grade which they are not really entitled to? You deserve to be locked up for longer time.
