A Federal High Court in Osun Monday, sentenced a former Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) lecturer, Richard Akindele, to two years in prison for demanding sex for marks from a student, Monica Osagie.

Akindele had changed his plea from ‘not guilty’ to ‘guilty.’

The trial judge, Justice Maureen Onyekenu ordered that the lecturer serve his sentence in Ilesa prison due to the magnitude of the offence he committed “which is prevalent in the country.”

The lecturer was first arraigned before Justice Onyetenu on November 19 by the ICPC on four counts of alteration of age and demanding sex to pass his student.
