A senior Lecturer in the Department of Mass Communication, Abia State University Uturu, ABSU, Kingsley Izuogu has been suspended by the University’s management.
Izuogu was suspended this week on allegations bordering on extortion and harassment of students as well as forgery of one of his lower credentials.
He was alleged to have charged money for his Hand Out materials and also demanded money to allow students pass the Courses he handled.
But Izuogu has repeatedly denied the allegations, saying he was innocent.
His suspension took place even as a separate investigation panel set up by the Abia State government to investigate corruption in the institution is yet to conclude or submit its findings to the state government.
The suspension of the lecturer has elicited different opinions among students and parents with some section hailing the action of the University management.
There are also a section of the Abia State University community who believe the Abia State University management should have waited for the State government’s investigation panel to submit its findings.
The Public Relations Officer, PRO of Abia State University, Chijioke Nwogu, confirmed the suspension of the Lecturer to DAILY POST on Wednesday.
” Yes. Suspended”, Nwogu confirmed
