The Vice-Chancellor of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Prof. Eyitope Ogunbodede, has said the institution may involve the police to verify a telephone conversation involving a professor at the institution who was accused of demanding sex from a female student.
The VC said this while speaking to our correspondent in Osogbo on Sunday.
A yet-to-be-identified female student at the university last week released a telephone conversation between her and the professor.
In the conversation, the don was heard demanding five rounds of sex from the student to upgrade her mark from 33 to a pass.
The VC said although the university had not reported the case to the police, it might involve them to get to the root of the matter if investigation ran into a hitch.
He said,
“We have a committee that is investigating the matter now and we gave them one week to submit their report. If we run into any hitch, we can use all the resources available to get to where we are going. But once things are running smoothly, we may not need to involve the police.
“But we must first identify those involved and where they are; if we have any problem doing that, then that is when the university will invite the police.
“The committee’s one week will elapse by Wednesday. We will brief you about it. I need to state that we have excellent relationship with the police, the DSS and others.”
