Further reports from a lecturer at UNIZIK
Further reports allege that Prof. Odinye did not demand sex for grades, while the university investigates claims of a planned attack and possible wider conspiracy.
He is reportedly receiving medical care under protection as authorities work to establish the truth.1. Prof. Odinye has yet to speak publicly or through any platform. Consequently, the WhatsApp message currently in circulation should be disregarded, as it did not originate from him, his family, or any authorised representative.
2. Prof. Odinye is known within the university community as a strict lecturer and is reportedly unpopular with some students and lecturers.
3. According to an alleged account attributed to the student involved, she reportedly stated that the incident was not a case of the lecturer demanding s*x, but rather a planned attack intended to humiliate him.
4. The individuals who allegedly assaulted him were not students of UNIZIK but touts allegedly hired by the female student and members of an alleged syndicate.
5. Prof. Odinye has not previously been known within the university community to be involved in any alleged “s*x-for-grades” incident. The accusation has therefore come as a shock to many, while the university is reportedly continuing its efforts to establish the facts surrounding the incident.
6. The university is investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident in which Prof. Odinye was reportedly seen naked while chasing a female student before being attacked by hoodlums. The circumstances are being examined, including the possibility of a wider conspiracy involving an alleged syndicate.
7. The university community is currently treating Prof. Odinye as innocent pending the outcome of the investigation and the emergence of credible evidence establishing otherwise.
He is reportedly under protective custody and receiving medical treatment while investigations continue and efforts are underway to identify and apprehend all those allegedly involved.
