Pastor Dr. Boniface Igbeneghu Finally Reacts To ‘Sex For Grade’ Allegation Against Him

A senior lecturer at the University of Lagos (UNILAG), Dr. Boniface Igbeneghu, who was also the head pastor at the Foursquare Gospel Church, has finally reacted to the allegations of sexual harassment leveled against him.

KanyiDaily had reported how Pastor Dr. Boniface Igbeneghu was captured on tape sexually harassing and demanding sex from a female admission seeker in BBC’s sex for grade undercover investigations.

The Foursquare Gospel Church and the University of Lagos have suspended him of his involvement in the sex-for-grade scandal which was exposed in a video by BBC Africa where an undercover journalist, Kiki Mordi, disguised as a 17-year-old admission seeker.

When contacted by Punch Correspondent on Monday over the backlash trailing the clip, Igbeneghu said he would not be pressurized to speak on the allegations of sexual harassment leveled against him. He said:

“I work for the University of Lagos; if you want any reaction, talk to the university.”

“Contact the information unit and they will tell you the correct position.

“If I talk, I will be running foul of the varsity law. Don’t put unnecessary pressure on me to say beyond what I have said,” Igbeneghu added.
