Randy Uniosun Lecturer Who Was Involved In Séx Video Has Been Sacked

The Governing Council of the Osun
State University, Osogbo, has
terminated the appointment of Dr.
Olabode Ojoniyi of the Department
of Languages and Linguistics, Ikire
Campus, caught on video having an
amorous relationship with one of
his students, Mercy Ikwue.
Punch reports that the Governing
Council headed by Mallam Yusuf Ali
SAN, sacked the lecturer, who
appeared nude on a bed in a hotel
room and caressing Miss Ikwue.
A member of the Governing Council
confirmed the sacking of Ojoniyi
yesterday and said:-
“The Council met last week and the
report of the panel that investigated
Ojoniyi’s amorous affair with the
female student was deliberated upon.
His appointment was terminated
because that is the penalty stated in
the Code of Conduct of Staff of Osun
State University.”
Apart from the member of the
Governing Council, three other
lecturers including two professors
confirmed to Punch that Ojoniyi had
been sacked.
Part II articles 15 and 23 of the Code
of Conduct for Staff and Students of
UNIOSUN read:-
“ An academic staff shall not conduct
himself/ herself in relation to students
in such a manner that derogates from
his status as a lecturer, examiner and
adviser. Specifically, sexual
harassment of students by (members
of) staff is totally forbidden.
Any (member of) staff found guilty of
sexual harassment shall be dismissed
from the service of the university and
may be handed over to relevant state
authority for prosecution.
“An academic (member of) staff shall
not demand from students any
gratification whether in cash or in
kind including sexual gratification in
the discharge of his/her lawful duties.
Breach of this code shall warrant
appropriate sanction ranging from
warning to termination of
appointment depending on the gravity
of the offence.”
Ojoniyi’s sex act was captured in a
video which is believed to have been
surreptitiously recorded by the female
student.
The female student was said to have
been pressurised by Ojoniyi for sex
and she eventually agreed and
followed him to their agreed place
with a laptop computer from which
she pretended to be watching a movie,
Things Fall Apart.
Unknown to him, Miss Ikwue was
actually recording their sexual
activities.
Ojoniyi had accused one of the
lecturers of the university, who was
recently dismissed for an alleged
misconduct as the person behind the
drama. According to him, the lady
was contracted to blackmail him. But
Ojoniyi did not deny being the one in
the video.
The video clip went viral afterwards
and Ojoniyi, when contacted by Punch
did not deny that he was the one in
the video and did not say his image
was manipulated. He only blamed his
detractors for the incident.
Punch adds that the Acting Registrar
of UNIOSUN, Bayo Shittu, who
doubles as the secretary of the
council, did not pick repeated calls
they put across to his telephone line.
He had yet to reply to the text sent to
him to officially confirm the sacking
as of the time of filing this report.
A professor at the university recently
resigned his appointment over the
alleged rape of a female student in his
office.
Some lecturers and students of the
university told Punch that the
professor knew that he would be
sacked if the case was investigated
and he hurriedly resigned to prevent
the embarrassment which would
follow.
