Osun varsity sacks lecturer caught in affair with student

The management of the Osun State University, Osogbo, has sacked a lecturer in the Department of Languages and Linguistics, Dr. Olabode Wale Ojoniyi, who engaged in sex with a female student because his act embarrassed the university.
A member of the Governing Council of the university told Daily Trust that the appointment of Ojoniyi was terminated after the conclusion of the investigation on the sex tape that captured the lecturer’s sexual affair with the student.

The council member who is also the provost of one of the colleges in UNIOSUN said, “I’m not supposed to disclose our decisions and the rationale behind such decisions to journalists or anyone. Our oath of office does not allow that. Let me just tell you that Dr. Ojoniyi was sacked because of the disgrace he brought to this university. The Chairman of the Governing Council, Mallam Yusuf Ali, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria and all of us felt disgusted over the reckless action of Dr Ojoniyi and no reasonable and sane person would allow such shameless individual to remain in this citadel of learning. That was why he was dismissed. The termination of Dr. Ojoniyi’s appointment followed due process. His offence was punishable under the Code of Conduct of Staff of Osun State University.”
The lecturer appeared nude in the video, caressing the student, unknown to him that the student, Miss Mercy Ikwue, was recording his actions.
Students of UNIOSUN who spoke with our correspondent said Ojoniyi was a dubious lecturer and they celebrated his dismissal.
Reacting to the allegations of illicit sex against him, Dr Ojoniyi did not deny being the one in the video but insisted that his trial be broadcast live on a national television.
When asked whether he was aware of the termination of his appointment, Dr. Ojoniyi said the truth would soon come out.
