The University of Lagos and the Foursquare Gospel Church in Nigeria, have suspended Dr Boniface Igbeneghu allegedly involved in the sex-for-grades scandal.<\/p>\n

The lecturer was exposed in a video by BBC Africa where an undercover journalist, Kiki Mordi, disguised as a 17-year-old admission seeker.<\/p>\n

The vice-chancellor of the institution, Oluwatoyin Ogundipe, confirmed the development saying the lecturer has been suspended indefinitely.<\/p>\n

The church also dissociated itself from the \u201cheinous and unscriptural act\u201d of Igheneghu.<\/p>\n

A statement on Monday by the National Secretary of the church, Rev Ikechukwu Ugbaja, promised to investigate the allegation and take appropriate sanctions.<\/p>\n

It reads: \u201cThe attention of the leadership of the Foursquare Gospel Church in Nigeria has been drawn to a video clip trending on social media platforms titled, \u2018Sex for grades: Undercover in West Africa Universities \u2013 BBC News\u2019 wherein a lecturer at the University of Lagos named Boniface Igbeneghu, also described as a pastor in Foursquare Gospel Church, was allegedly involved in sexual misconduct with some female students of the university.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe general public is hereby informed that as holiness and Bible-believing church, we do not condone such heinous and unscriptural acts among our ministers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe totally dissociate ourselves from the purported conduct of Dr Igbeneghu and promise to take appropriate measures as soon as the ongoing investigation is concluded.<\/p>\n

\u201cMeanwhile, the pastor in question has been asked to step down from all ministerial assignments.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
