Also, plant your spies in all departments, if you can.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese monsters will fight back and deny, but we want them to know that we are fully armed to the teeth and ready for them.<\/p>\n<p>Though, Chukwuebuka said he was not in good stead to spell out what would happen to the six lecturers if the allegations against them were established to be true, a female student of the university told this reporter that the lecturers would earn outright sack.<\/p>\n<p>Chukwuebuka said, \u201cThe university has code of conduct. I may not be able to tell you what will happen to them now, but I think we should let the committee conclude their job and find out if they are guilty, before we determine what their punishment will be.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am not holding forth for anyone, but I think those are mere allegations. If they were serious about their allegations, why did they not speak up before now? Why did they wait for the BBC investigation that unraveled such practices in Lagos, before coming up with their own.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But, a female student of the university who refused to be named, said, \u201cIf they are proven to be guilty, they will be sacked. In Lagos, the professor who was caught on tape has been sacked. In other institutions where the same thing happened, the erring lecturers have been sacked, so why will that of Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University be different?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe victims have been mobilizing, they are waiting for the report of the committee because we have evidence too, we are sure the six lecturers will leave the university,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University (COOU), Igbariam, Anambra state has set up\u00a0 a five-man panel to investigate allegations of sexual misconduct levelled against some lecturers in the university.
