The investigative panel set up by the management of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife on the "sex for mark" scandal involving one of the academic staff of the university, Professor Richard Akindele, has indicted him and recommended him for immediate suspension.
Daily Trust learnt that Professor Akindele appeared before the panel but the female student involved in the matter failed to show up.
Professor Akindele became the talk of the town when the recording of a conversation between him and a female student in which he was demanding for five sessions of sex in return for pushing up the student’s grade emerged.
Daily Trust learnt from a reliable source that the report of the panel was not in favour of the professor and that the committee has submitted it’s reports to the management of the university.
The source said "the committee set up by the management of OAU to investigate Professor Akindele sex scandal has submitted its report. The committee indicted him and recommended him for immediate suspension. That is the preliminary findings anyway. The committee still want to meet the student that was involved. Once the lady appears, the committee will recommend appropriate sanction."
