JUST IN: Sex-for-marks-scandal: Monica Osagie, appears before OAU panel

A former female student of Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, Monica Osagie, whose leaked audio conversation with Professor Richard Akindele, allegedly demanding for five rounds of sex to secure marks, on Tuesday, appeared before the panel, constituted by the university to investigate the matter.

Though, the panel was sitting at the Vice Chancellor (VC)’s lodge, located around the staff quarters of the institution, only two lawyers were allowed entranced into the fenced premises with tall black gate.

Tribune Online authoritatively gathered at the venue that officials from the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) were prevented from the observing the proceedings which began at 10.00 am, just as journalists were also barred from gaining entry to observe the proceedings.

A white colour Hilux van, belonging to the university security department was parked at the entrance of the gates leading into the VC’s lodge with about four plain cloth security officials, led by the Chief Security Officer ( CSO) of the institution.
