The Foursquare Gospel Church in
Nigeria has asked Boniface Igbeneghu to step down from all “ministerial
assignments”.
Igbeneghu, who is a part-time
pastor in the church, is a lecturer at the University of Lagos.
He was caught on camera sexually
harassing an undercover BBC reporter who posed as an admission seeker in
UNILAG. (read HERE)
In a 13-minute video, Igbeneghu
told Kiki Mordi, the undercover reporter, how some lecturers in the institution
tossed female students for sex.
He had invited the teenager to
his office for a number of tutorials, before delving into sexual conversations
with her.
The lecturer went to the
bathroom, upon his return, he locked the door, switched off the light and
embraced the “admission seeker”.
In a statement, the church
dissociated itself from the conduct of the lecturer.
“The attention of the leadership
of The Foursquare Gospel Church in Nigeria has been drawn to a video clip
trending on social media platforms titled ‘Sex for grades: Undercover in West
Africa Universities – BBC News’ wherein a lecturer in University of Lagos named
Dr. Boniface Igbeneghu also described as a pastor in Foursquare Gospel Church
was allegedly involved in sexual misconduct with some female students of the
University,” the statement read.
“The general public is hereby
informed that as a holiness and Bible-believing Church, we do not condone such
heinous and unscriptural act among our ministers. We totally dissociate
ourselves from the purported conduct of Dr. Igbeneghu and promise to take
appropriate measure as soon as the ongoing investigation is concluded.
“Meanwhile, the pastor in
question has been asked to step down from all ministerial assignments.”
