Nigerian University 'Investigates Sex-For-Grades Allegations'

Nigeria's Imo State University has set up a committee to investigate sex-for-grades claims after videos of lecturers allegedly having sex with students were shared online, according to Punch newspaper.

One of the videos shows an alleged lecturer being arrested by police while he was half-naked.

The other video shows a lecturer masturbating in an office after reportedly having sex with a student.

Local media outlets have reported that the lecturers were recorded by the students with assistance from security officials.

The university's public relations official Ralph Obinjoku has been quoted by the Punch newspaper as saying that the management would not spare anyone found guilty.

He spoke about one of the videos where a lecturer was being arrested and said the committee formed had been asked to do a "thorough job".

Last year, in a documentary about sex-for-grades allegations, BBC Africa Eye recorded incidents at the University of Ghana and the University of Lagos.
