THE hope of a former lecturer of Obafemi University (OAU), Richard Akindele of getting bail after he was arraigned for demanding sex in order to awards marks to one of his students, Monica Osagie was on Tuesday dashed.
The Federal High Court in Osogbo, declined his bail application. He will be in prison custody till December 17, 2018.
Akindele through his counsel, Francis Omotoso, filed an application for his bail, which was opposed by Kehinde Ayantoye, a senior legal officer with the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) who filed a counter affidavit deposed to by a detective, Afolabi Oluwatoyin.
Justice Maureen Onyetenu said allegations contained in the counter affidavit were weighty and directed the prosecution to produce evidence to back his claim.
