OAU Sex-for-marks scandal: What Monica Osagie told panel – Counsel
Monica Osagie, the victim in the sex-for-marks scandal at Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, has told an investigative panel that the disgraced professor, Richard Akindele, deliberately failed her because she refused his sexual demand.
She said she did not score 33 per cent as the lecturer claimed, but was failed so that she could bow to his sexual demand.
Miss Osagie said this today when she appeared before the panel, her lawyer Abiola Akiyode-Afolabi told journalists.
The victim had appeared before the committee set up by the institution’s authorities in company of her counsel.
Miss Osagie, a student in the Masters of Business Administration programme, released a recorded telephone conversation, which went viral, in which the lecturer identified as Mr Akindele, demanded five rounds of sex to enhance her marks.
The committee, which held its session at the Pro -Chancellor’s Lodge on the campus, allowed only Miss Osagie and her counsel into the venue.
Journalists, students and some members of the National Human Rights Commission who came to witness the sitting were not allowed into the venue by security personnel of the institution who blocked the entrance.
Mrs Akiyode-Afolabi, who spoke with newsmen after the closed door session which lasted more than seven hours, said Miss 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 Miss 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.
