Dr. Boniface Igbeneghu, the University of Lagos lecturer allegedly involved in sex-for-marks has been invited by the police for questioning,
Igbeneghu who teaches in the Department of European Languages was eventually invited by the Lagos State Police Command.
The lecturer, who is also a pastor at Foursquare Gospel Church, was asked to report at the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, Yaba, on October 23, 2019.
In the letter, signed by the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of the SCIID, Yetunde Alonge, Igbeneghu was asked to report at D10 section, according to Vanguard.
Alonge told newsmen on Friday that the invitation was sent through the varsity management, noting that the Police were awaiting a response, and that the lecturer had yet to show up.
“We are still waiting,” she said.
Igbeneghu was exposed earlier in the month following an undercover documentary by the BBC showing how he and a few other lecturers in West African universities have been having inappropriate relationships with students.
He was caught on video admitting to the existence of a “cold room” where male lecturers at UNILAG had sexual relations with female students in exchange for good grades. UNILAG and Foursquare have since suspended Igbeneghu pending outcomes of the investigations.

Stories like this show us the importance of investigative journalism.
I’m glad that Dr Igbenehu has been suspended both from being a lecturer and a pastor. He is obviously a severe danger to others in both respects. It is not surprising that he has not presented himself for questioning. Does he think he wasting time will make this entire mess disappear?
The police, and other involved parties, should not relent until justice is done.
