The management of the Imo State University (IMSU), Owerri, has suspended two lecturers caught in an alleged sex-for-marks scandal.

In a recent video which trended online, the lecturers were caught in a compromising situation with their female. students

 

The university management has now taken the decision to suspend the duo pending when an investigation is concluded on the matter. Spokesman of the university, Ralph Njoku Obi, confirmed the development.

 

According to him, the management of the institution has also set up a committee to probe the two lecturers. He confirmed that the two lecturers captured in the trending video clips are lecturers of the university.

“We just came out of an expanded management meeting now. Management resolved to set up a panel to look into the veracity of the content of the video clips but as it stands now, the two lecturers have been suspended so they can give us ample room to do a proper investigation into the matter.”

 

“It is believed that the trending video clips may have again exposed the ugly underworld of sex-for-grade syndicates operating in the Imo State University, Owerri. The two lecturers, who were caught pants down, are senior academics and are now cooling off in a police cell in Owerri, the Imo State capital.

 

They are Victor Obinna Njoku, a professor in the Chemistry Department, and Emmanuel Esogbuonye Agomuo of the Biochemistry Department.

 

Mr Njoku was videoed in a very compromising position, before allegedly trying to engage in sex with a ladycsuspected to be a student of the institution.  Hewas busted and arrested while still trying to make out with the lady, both naked.

 

One of the trending video clips showed where the other lecturer, Mr Agomuo, was being handcuffed by a security operative, while still stark naked, allegedly in a totally  differentsexual escapade.

Meanwhile, there has been a further assertion making the rounds that one of the ladies in the escapade was aboutv getting married and in spite of her explanations and pleas, one of the said lecturers demanded and collected the sum of N150,000 and still insisted on sleeping with her. It was at that point that the lady consulted the police and was asked to play along in what may rightly be called a  sting operation

Oshiomhole’s aide defects to PDP, supports Obaseki’s re-election with N5m.

Mr. Andrew Momodu, a former aide to the former APC National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, has defected to the PDP, even as he pledged the sum of N5 million to support the re-election of Obaseki.

In another development, the Eramah Anwian of Anwain Kingdom in Etsako East LGA of Edo North, HRM Mufutairu Oare, has assured Obaseki that whatever he desires from members of the Anwain community will be doubled for him in the governorship election.

The Eramah Anwian while reassuring Obaseki of their support, said: “Mr. Governor, we are assuring you that you are at home. This community road has been a disaster for over a thousand years until your timely  intervention. We were cut off from Edo State until you gave us a good road that integrated us back as members of the state. We cannot forget such a gesture. The government comes and goes and no government remembers that we exist. But Obaseki

came and connected us back to the state through good roads.

“It took 24hours to come out from the community to the main road but today, the story is no more the same. In less than an hour, you can now approach various parts of the state due to a good network of roads.

“We are preparing a carnival to receive you on the 12th of this month but you came today, otherwise, you would have known what is called a reception of honour. Go to other areas to campaign, you don’t need to campaign in this community because this community has no other option than the PDP. Any where Obasek and Shaibu stands, that’s where the entire Anwain community will stand.”

The high point of the visit to the community was the conferment of a traditional title of performance on the

governor and his deputy as Ozemonya and Ozonya of Anwain Kingdom, respectively.
