The Ekiti State University, Ado Ekiti has sacked three academic staff members, including Olola Aduwo, accused of involvement in sex scandal. It also dismissed two other workers for negligence of duty.

The Institute’s Vice Chancellor, Edward Olanipekun in a statement said the decision was arrived at, at the 135th meeting of the institution’s Governing Council, which considered, among others, the report of the preliminary investigation panel and the Staff Disciplinary Committee.
He added that the committees strictly followed all laid down procedures and gave him an opportunity to defend himself. He explained that Aduwo admitted to the accusations and confirmed the validity of the report of the preliminary panels before which he appeared.
In same vein, the council approved the dismissal of two workers of the institution; Temitope Faleye and Adebanji Adegoke, for abandoning their duty posts.
