Yaw Gyampo, a professor of
political science at the University of Ghana, has vowed to sue the BBC over its
sex-for-mark video documentary.
The professor described the
documentary as an entrapment, insisting that he was never involved in the act.
He said the documentary could not
establish anything against him.
“I have been counseled to be
silent on a matter of entrapment masterminded by a certain unscrupulous people,
with the aid of BBC (African Eye) against me,” he said.
“I have a lot to say about this
matter. But I am suing the BBC for defamation tomorrow, so I will keep some of
the facts to myself for now.
“Let me state however, that I
have not involved myself in the BBC’s so-called sex for grades and will never
do so. Their own video documentary evidence could not establish this. I am
aware of my University’s Sexual Harassment Policy and I have always adhered to
its dogmas.
“The lady involved in my informal
conversation, was not my student and she wasn’t also a student from the
University of Ghana where I teach. I therefore cannot decipher how I could
manipulate the grade of a non-student.
“The BBC ignored all her
contributions to our conversation. They ignored all her messages she sent to
me. They ignored my objections and letters written to refute their allegations.
They also edited the video to suit their purpose.
“While I prepare to sue the BBC
for carrying out the most bogus and unprofessional piece of documentary in the
world so far, I wish to remind them that Ghana and for that matter, Africa, has
long thrown out the yoke of colonialism.
“I have not engaged in any
so-called sex for grades and I will stay true to my calling in doing my best
for God, students and country.”
