Kogi State Polytechnic, Lokoja, suspends six lecturers following allegations involving cultism, “sex-for-marks,” and related misconduct. The institution’s management announces the suspension after investigations into alleged behavior and irregular academic practices. According to statements attributed to the polytechnic’s Public Relations Officer, the suspended lecturers face allegations of involvement in cultism and of demanding or receiving sexual favours in exchange for marks. Additional claims include unauthorised sale of handouts and textbooks.
The suspension is described as part of an ongoing process to verify the allegations. The polytechnic indicates that investigations are continuing and that further actions will depend on findings. The sources do not provide details on the lecturers’ identities, the specific evidence presented, or any disciplinary outcome beyond the suspension. Both reports frame the move as a response by the school authorities to concerns raised about conduct within the institution and the integrity of its academic processes.
