JUST IN: : Court declines OAU sxx-for-mark lecturer bail

Federal High Court Osogbo, on Tuesday, declined the bail
application of ex-lecturer with Obafemi Awolowo University,
Professor Richard Iyiola Akindele, dragged before the court for
demanding sex in order to awards marks t0 one of his students,
Monica Osagie.

Though counsel to the defendant, Francis Omotoso, filed an
application for his bail, the application was opposed by Kehinde
Ayantoye, a senior legal officer with the Independent Corrupt
Practices And Other Related Offences Commission, who filed a
counter affidavit deposed to by a detective, Afolabi
Oluwatoyin.

Justice Maureen Onyetenu said allegations contained in the
counter affidavit were weighty and directed the prosecution to
produce evidence to back his claim.
