Sex scandal rocks LASU, associate professor arrested
An Associate Professor of Economics at the Lagos State University (LASU), Ojo, Dr. Sunkanmi Odubunmi is currently being tried by the university management following his arrest by the institutions security operatives while allegedly sexually harassing a female student of the department.
Dr. Odubunmi was arrested in his office while allegedly fondling the unnamed student, on a Saturday, exactly three days to his promotion interview scheduled to hold on Tuesday of the following week.
The university has confirmed the development, saying efforts were in top gear to make its findings known as soon as possible.
But efforts to speak to the embattled lecturer proved abortive as his telephone number was unavailable and this was confirmed by some of his colleagues who spoke to New Telegraph on condition of anonymity.
