The Speaker of the House of
Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila has described the BBC ‘Sex for Grades’
documentary on Nigerian lecturers as a ‘moment of reckoning’.
UNILAG lecturer, Boniface
Igbeneghu, a former sub-dean of Faculty of Art and head pastor of local
Foursquare Gospel Church was caught on camera in BBC ‘Sex for Grades’
documentary allegedly demanding sex from a lady “seeking admission.”
His advances were captured in a
13-minute video by BBC Africa, courtesy of an undercover journalist, Kiki
Mordi, who disguised as a 17-year-old admission seeker.
Condemning the act, Gbajabiamila
said those lecturers denied victimized students “their sense of self worth and
left them with psychological wounds”
Gbajabiamila wrote: “The
revelations in the BBC #SexForGrades documentary brings to the fore despicable
practices that have victimised too many young people, denied them their sense
of self worth and left them with psychological wounds that often never heal.
“These revelations call for a
moment of reckoning, not only for those lecturers whose abuse of their position
and the trust of their students has been caught on tape, but those who are
still hiding in the shadows.”
Meanwhile, Foursquare Gospel
church has asked Dr. Boniface to step down following sexual harassment case.
