The Management of Tai Solarin University of Education, Ijagun, Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State, has suspended a lecturer, Dr. Olaniran Balogun, who was declared wanted by the Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission, over sex-for-marks allegation.

Few days ago, the ICPC had declared Balogun, who was the Head of Department of Religious Studies, TASUED, wanted for allegedly abusing his office and demanding gratification.

Reacting, the management of TASUED said it had relieved Balogun of his position and had placed him on interdiction until he cleared himself of all allegations of misdemeanors brought against him by the federal anti-graft agency.

The statement read in part, “The said Dr Olaniran Balogun is a lecturer at the Tai Solarin University of Education, Ijagun, Ogun State. Dr Balogun is currently under investigation for the alleged misdemeanor and has since been relieved of his position as the Head of Department, Religious Studies.

“He has also been placed on interdiction until he clears himself of the various allegations leveled against him by ICPC.

“The university would therefore not condone any act of indiscipline and corrupt practices by any of its staff. Dr Balogun is further advised to immediately honor the invitation of the ICPC to clear himself of the allegations against him.”
