UNIZIK sex scandal: Prof Odinye suspended for 3 months

The management of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, UNIZIK, has suspended Professor Ifeanyi Sunny Odinye, a lecturer in the Department of Chinese Studies, for three months with half salary. The suspension follows an interim report by a six-man panel, chaired by the Provost of the College of Postgraduate Studies, Prof. Emmanuel Obidimma, who found Odinye guilty of contravening the university's General and Academic Regulations.

The panel deferred consideration of the allegation of sexual harassment against Odinye, stating that further investigations were required to establish the facts surrounding the allegation. The suspended professor was previously accused by a female student of attempting to take advantage of her, an incident captured in a now-viral video.
