Professor Emmanuel Agumuo, a lecturer of the institution, who requested for sex from a student in exchange for mark, has been arrested.

Agumuo who is the Head of Department of Biochemistry of the institution, was seen handcuffed in a viral video where he was arrested by plain-clothed security men.

Sources said the don, apart from allegedly collecting N150,000 as bribe from the female student, also demanded sex from her in order to pass her.

The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity said, “The female student, who is about getting married, had issues with her result after her mates had graduated. She approached her Head of Department, but he demanded N150,000 bribe, which she paid. The professor also demanded sex from her.

“The professor rejected the girl’s plea that she was getting married soon. The girl then played along with the aid of security men. The don was arrested naked in a room with the girl. Of course, the nude video is all over the Internet.”

Ralph Obinjoku, the varsity’s public relations officer, said the institution has already constituted a committee to ascertain the veracity of the video. Obinjoku said the institution prohibits sex-for-mark and will therefore not take the matter for granted.

“We just rose from an expanded management meeting and I want to tell you that a committee has been set up to investigate the authenticity or otherwise of the nude video, which had one of our lecturers. The university is not taking the development for granted and the vice-chancellor has asked the committee to do a thorough job. Our university does not tolerate sex-for-mark or any act that lowers the excellent academic standard of our citadel of learning.”
