The federal high court in Oshogbo on Tuesday refused to grant bail to the former Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) lecturer,Prof Richard Akindele,who was charged for demanding sex to pass his student ,Monica Osagie.
When the lecturer was first arraigned at the court by the Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) on November 19,2018, the court refused to release him on bail and remanded him in prison.
Justice Maureen Onyetenu adjourned the case to December 17 and ordered the prosecution counsel from the ICPC to produce video evidence of the lecturer and the student in the act.
She further stated that the lecturer will remain in prison to allow more evidence on why the lecturer should not be allowed trial on bail.
