The senior lecturer was arrested after he allegedly collected marked money from a female student.
Sources said the senior lecturer is an Assistant Dean of the Faculty of Law. He represents the faculty in a committee set up to coordinate students’ inter-faculty movement every session.
It was gathered that the lecturer was arrested by the security unit after which it was discovered that the lecturer belonged to a syndicate specialising in extortion of students.
The female student was said to be studying English in the Faculty of Arts and wanted to change to the Faculty of Law.
She was reportedly asked to pay N150,000 by the lecturer before her request could be approved.
Another lecturer was said to have encouraged her to report the matter.
The student reportedly played along and pleaded to be allowed to pay N100,000, which was agreed to by the lecturer.
It was gathered that as the student was about to pay the money into an account, the lecturer called her phone and asked her to deliver the money in his office.
The lecturer was arrested after he collected the marked money and was handed over to the police.
A source said:“When his (lecturer’s) office was searched, security personnel discovered a list containing 18 names, including the female student’s.’’
The institution’s spokesman, Harrison Osarenren, confirmed the incident.
Osarenren said: “The Vice Chancellor, Prof. Osayuki Oshodi, has applauded the team that exposed this syndicate.
“The lecturer will be arraigned in court soon.’’ Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
