Alonge, while speaking on the letter on Friday, said the Police were awaiting response, adding that the lecturer was yet to show up.
Igbeneghu, who was also a pastor at Foursquare Gospel Church, was exposed following an undercover documentary by the BBC on Sex for grades in West African universities.
He was caught on video admitting to the existence of a “cold room” where male lecturers at UNILAG had sexual relations with female students in exchange for good grades.
