Igbeneghu, a lecturer and former sub-dean of faculty of art was caught on camera sexually harassing an undercover reporter who posed as a 17-year-old girl seeking admission into the institution.

Also, a lecturer at the University of Ghana, Dr Paul Kwame Butakor was exposed alongside Igbeneghu, a head pastor at a Foursquare Gospel Church, Lagos in the 13-minute snippet of the investigative report.

Igbeneghu told Kiki Mordi, the undercover reporter, how some lecturers in the institution ask female students for sex in exchange for favours.

UNILAG vice-chancellor of the institution, Oluwatoyin Ogundipe, confirmed the suspension Monday afternoon.

Ogundipe said Igbeneghu has been suspended indefinitely.

He said, “a panel will be set up to investigate the issue.”
