The Management of Tai Solarin University of Education, Ijagun, Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State, has suspended a lecturer, Dr. Olaniran Balogun, who was declared wanted by the Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission (ICPC).
Balogun, the Head of Department of Religious Studies at the institution, was declared wanted by the anti-graft agency for allegedly abusing his office and demanding gratification.
The Deputy Registrar, Media and Corporate Relations, Gbenga Omilola, in a statement on Sunday, August 28, said the university management had relieved Balogun of his position and had placed him on interdiction until he cleared himself of all allegations of misdemeanors brought against him by the federal anti-graft agency.
Omilola said the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Oluwole Banjo, has approved the appointment of Dr Kayode Olusanya, as the new Head, Department of Religious Studies, to replace Balogun.
“Dr Balogun is currently under investigation for the alleged misdemeanor and has since been relieved of his position as the Head of Department, Religious Studies,” the statement read.
