The court case of Richard Akindele, a former lecturer
at Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) who was sacked after demanding
sex to pass a student, has taken a new turn.
Akindele, who was charged to court by the Independent
Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), has been denied
bail by the court.
Punch reports that the prosecuting counsel
, Kehinde
Ayantoye submitted a counter-affidavit opposing the bail application of
the accused, accusing him of being involved in child pornography.
Akindele had refused to report to the ICPC office, Ayantoye
revealed, after he was granted administrative bail to travel to the US to
attend to his health.
Ayantoye also revealed that the accused, who is a pastor,
was caught on tape chanting incantations to derail the case.
The case has been adjourned until December 17, and the judge
has asked that the tape be presented before the court.
