A lecturer at Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Prof. Ifeanyi Sunny Odinye, has been suspended for three months with half salary due to alleged contravention of the university's regulations. The suspension comes after a six-man panel set up by the university investigated allegations that Odinye attempted to take advantage of a female student who had previously been caught for examination malpractice.
The panel's findings, presented to the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Ugochukwu Bond Stanley Anyaehie, confirmed that Odinye failed to report the incident of malpractice to the prescribed Examination Misconduct Report Form and returned a stolen phone to the student without following university guidelines. The panel deferred consideration of the allegation of sexual harassment, stating that further investigations were needed to establish the facts surrounding the claim.
The Vice-Chancellor has approved the suspension and extended the timeframe for the Student Examination Misconduct Committee to address the remaining issues.
