A professor at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife, Osun State, who was accused of demanding sex from a female student of the institution in return for marks, has allegedly gone into hiding.
Punch Metro visited his office on Thursday, but he was not around.
One of the lecturers at his department said the man had been hiding since his leaked conversation with the female student went viral on the social media.
The lecturer, who did not want to be identified, added that the professor was also not at his residence, adding that some members of his church had been going to his house to sympathise with his wife.
He said, “The prof is not in the office. He has not been coming since his alleged conversation with a female student went viral. I don’t know where he is, but he has finished his sabbatical and has come back to the campus before this scandal broke out.”
There were few lecturers and workers standing in clusters in front of the Faculty of Administration where the department is located.
Most of them refused to speak on the matter.
The OAU Public Relations Officer, Abiodun Olanrewaju, said he could not tell if the lecturer had gone into hiding, adding that the committee investigating the matter had started sitting.
He noted that the school was still searching for the student.
