Graduate of Obafemi Awolowo University, Monica Osagie, who leaked the alleged audio conversation between her and Professor Richard Akindele in February, has said that her life has been miserable ever since she exposed her lecturer on sex for marks scandal.
Read her conversation in a new interview below:
Are you being stigmatised as a result of what happened?
Oh yes! I received a lot of threats from many social media users. I suffered physical harassment at public places, especially in the banking halls. I also received a series of calls from strangers who would address me as “ashawo” “home wrecker” and “career destroyer.” People accused me of destroying the career of the professor.
How are you and your family handling the stigma?
Well, my dad is greatly worried because he paid my Master’s degree fees and I had yet to get my certificate. I read the lies that were published in favour of Professor Akindele where the vice-chancellor said I was no longer a student of the school and that I failed too many courses. Thank God, each time our results were pasted in the secretary’s office, I always wrote my grade so they can’t manipulate my result.
